DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

The main functions of the Chair are to support research, training and knowledge dissemination in the field of education and adolescence. To fulfil these functions, the Chair aspires to be not only a space of academic reflection but also a powerful resource available to adolescents who grow and learn and acquire formal and non-formal education as well as to professionals who work in this field. In this regard, the Chair has identified four major attributes that permeate its identity and constitute the hallmarks of its functions:

Appicability of research

To change the academic frame of reference into a resource that improves the educational activities of adolescents.

Voice of adolescence

To identify and prioritize the needs of adolescents, involving them and encouraging them to become active participants in assuming their responsibilities in school.

 

Evidence-based practices

To contribute to the development of educational practices based on research.

 

Formal and non-formal education

To meet the needs of all educational settings during adolescence, which are the crucial backdrop and context for coexistence at this stage.
