Abstract(s)
A central objective of the PAEDEIA project was to develop, test,
evaluate and refine an induction programme for this very purpose.
In 2013 the programme was developed under the title Paedeia Café;
187
paedeia1 after the project name, and café after the programme’s
intentional resemblance to the interactive and informal atmosphere
of a café. The café concept was based on the reasoning that, for most,
the idea of a café meeting would certainly not involve being lectured by
any one individual on subjects that are of no real interest or relevance
to any others present. Far from it. Those present would expect to be
able to talk and share openly and on an equal par about things that are
important to everybody involved. They would also hope for a friendly,
trustful atmosphere where people listen attentively to what each other
has to say. This ideal might, admittedly, not be the way things always
happen in cafés, but it is this core idea of talking with equals or peers
about shared issues and challenges that the project group wanted to
capture as the guiding principle of the induction scheme.
