Abstract:
This chapter explores how critical pedagogy and childhood studies have questioned the effectiveness of educators’ expertise in promoting children’s trusting commitment and how these ideas have inspired the concept of facilitation, based on promoting learners’ self-expression, taking their views into account, consulting them, involving them in decision-making processes, and sharing power and responsibility for decision-making with them. Insights on the issue are offered, with the discussion of examples that illustrate the use of facilitation in the context of international summer camps promoted by the School of Peace of Monte Sole (Italy), aimed to promote dialogue, positive conflict management and peaceful relationships among groups of adolescents.
