Welcome to the website of the Global Alliance for Social Pedagogy and Social Education!

We are a community of people across the globe who are interested in social pedagogy and social education as perspectives supporting a more eco-socially just world. We come together to learn with each other and collaborate on ideas designed to further the development of social pedagogy and social education as disciplines and practice fields. 

You can find out more about the purpose of the Global Alliance in our contribution to the People’s Global Summit ‘Co-Building a New Eco-Social World: Leaving No One Behind’.

We have conceived the Global Alliance as a movement rather than a traditional membership association, because we want to complement rather than replicate the amazing work undertaken by the many national and international associations for social pedagogues and social educators. Indeed, many of these are part of the Global Alliance!

We use a non-hierarchical structure centred around activities organised in small teams. Each team takes on shared responsibility for undertaking specific activities within the Global Alliance. Each team is self-organised and self-managed and thus free to do what it sees fit, provided it does so in the spirit of the Global Alliance principles. To ensure that there is some level of co-ordination and coherence across different teams, at least one person from each team is also part of the central communications team.

You can see a visualisation of the different teams below and find out more here, including how to join any team you’re interested in being part of.

Join our movement to connect with other professionals around the globe, learn with each other and determine how we can collectively make a positive difference towards an eco-socially just world. It’s free to join the Global Alliance for Social Pedagogy and Social Education. All our activities rely on our collective contributions, so when you sign up, you can choose which of our teams you’d like to get involved in. Simply leave your details below, and we’ll send you all relevant information.
