Diversification of learning modes by using different forms of intelligence

Knowledge is seen as a dialogical construction which takes form within the dialogue between people having the experience of SW and SW students

"...despite the differences, the teacher forms and re-forms himself in his involvement in the act of teaching, just as the student forms himself and the teacher. (...) The teaching must begin with solving the teacher/student contradiction, by reconciling the opposite poles, so that both parts are both teachers and students at the same time.".

One of the most precious moment of our whole school year... A course which gives meaning to our practice

TaraSW student

It is the first time that I have the courage to tell my story and I was listened to, and I felt I was useful to the students.

students have said ...

StéphaneCo-teacher

I understood the violence that exists in the system and how it can be felt by the social services users. It is important to be able to exchange as equals, that helped to deconstruct my representations

They asked questions. For the first time I felt I existed. This project has transformed my life, I gained in self esteem and found a place where I feel home"

Let's watch a 4 min movie of the project

It's time for your questions and comments !
