Social pedagogy is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of education, social work, and community development. Its aim is the holistic development and well-being of individuals, with a focus on children and youth, within their social environments. The approach emphasises prevention, early intervention, inclusion, rights, participation, and empowerment. It seeks to support positive development through collaborative work with families, schools, communities, and other services.

Practitioners work in diverse settings, including schools, child welfare and youth work institutions, residential care, and community programs. Typical activities include assessment and planning of interventions, counselling, coordinating services, designing and delivering programs, and advocacy for the rights and needs of clients. Teamwork with teachers, social services, and families is common, and a sotsiaalpedagoogilisest approach informs practice with ethical standards, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to evidence-based methods.

Education and research in Estonia and other countries prepare professionals to apply sotsiaalpedagoogiline principles in real-world contexts. The goal is to support sustainable inclusion and positive life outcomes for individuals and communities.
