LEARNING ABOUT SOCIAL PEDAGOGY
organisational learning partner support
We work with organisations as a learning partner at every stage of their social pedagogy journey – from awareness to whole-systems transformation.
learning with organisations
Beyond courses — a genuine learning partnership
ThemPra’s work with organisations goes far beyond delivering courses. We see ourselves as a learning partner – working alongside you to understand your context, your culture and your ambitions, so that we can co-design a strategy that will create lasting, meaningful change.
We have worked with statutory, voluntary and independent organisations across the UK and Ireland since 2007, supporting everything from initial awareness-raising to long-term systemic change programmes involving whole services, leadership teams and governance structures. We are always flexible, always collaborative and always led by what will work best in your context.
In-house learning programmes
In-depth experiential courses tailored to your practice setting.
We deliver our full range of courses in-house for your organisation’s teams, adapting the content, pace and focus to your specific practice context. In-house delivery is particularly effective when you want to build a shared language and understanding across a team or service.
team development seminars
Learning partner for inclusive, adaptive and ethically congruent change processes.
Our one- to two-day team development seminars are ideal for teams wanting to explore social pedagogy together, building shared understanding, strengthening relationships and exploring specific practice challenges through experiential learning.
organisational capacity-building
Develop your in-house expertise in how to develop social pedagogy across your organisation.
We work with organisations over a sustained period to build in-house capacity for social pedagogy, for instance by developing your own ‘social pedagogy champions’ and helping you embed the approach into your structures, supervision and everyday culture.
Whole-systems strategies
Learning partner for inclusive, adaptive and ethically congruent change processes.
Where your change project requires a learning partner rather than an external consultant, we can offer a lot of expertise drawing on social pedagogy and Human Learning Systems to ensure that change processes are inclusive, adaptive and ethically congruent with the values and purpose of your organisation. We bring a deep commitment to systemic change through joint learning, co-production and relational approaches, with a focus on power-sharing, co-design approaches and supporting teams to embed sustainable co-production practices.
leadership coaching and support
Develop your social pedagogical leadership on an ongoing basis.
We offer coaching and external supervision for senior leaders who want to develop a more relational, social pedagogical approach to their leadership, drawing on the same principles that underpin all our practice.
