"Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie" (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry), "Introduzione ai metodi e ai campi d'azione della pedagogia sociale" (Introduction to Methods and Fields of Action in Social Pedagogy), and "Reflexion sozialpädagogischen Handelns LAB" (Reflection on Social Pedagogical Action LAB). The lecture on Child and Adolescent Psychiatry provides foundational knowledge of mental health disorders affecting children and adolescents, equipping future social pedagogues with an understanding of psychiatric diagnoses, treatment approaches, and the psychosocial factors influencing mental well-being in young people. Introduction to Methods and Fields of Action in Social Pedagogy offers a comprehensive overview of key theoretical concepts, methodologies, and practical applications within the diverse landscape of social pedagogy. It explores various intervention strategies and the broad range of professional settings where social pedagogues operate, from youth work to community development. Finally, Reflection on Social Pedagogical Action fosters critical self-awareness and ethical reasoning among students. This laboratory emphasizes the importance of analyzing one's own professional practice, understanding the complexities of social interactions, and developing reflective skills essential for navigating challenging situations and ensuring effective, responsible social pedagogical interventions. Together, these lectures and this laboratory provide a robust theoretical and practical framework, preparing students to address the multifaceted challenges in social pedagogical practice with competence.
