15 credits, Level 4

Spring teaching

On this module, you’ll gain the practical and theoretical skills to work effectively with young people in a near-peer mentoring role. These skills will be highly transferable across disciplines. You’ll:

• explore our social pedagogy framework
• gain essential training in safeguarding and boundaries
• deepen your understanding of current issues shaping young lives, including mental health and wellbeing.

Through hands-on experience, you’ll develop confidence in creative, participatory facilitation and holistic approaches to engagement. You’ll design and facilitate interactive workshops on topics you choose and care about, combining academic learning with real-world application. This will support you in developing leadership and communication skills.

The module fosters youth-led spaces that encourage:

• critical dialogue
• collaboration
• transformative learning.
