Aspects to consider:

- General framework / project in which the training initiative took place
Measures against early school leaving and for studentsâ equal opportunity of social emancipation, in the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles.

- Reasons why the training initiative is relevant and selected
Can a young person be loyal to a school setting and in complete contradiction to their family background? The young person is then in a conflict of loyalty. "Who am I obliged to?â
This problem should not be taken lightly because the damages it causes can really destroy the child/studentâs social, emotional and school development.

- Skills acquired by the teachers involved
⢠Understanding the conflict of loyalty in its different forms and the link between this problem and school failure
⢠Analysing specific situations (concrete cases) that highlight the constitutive elements of this problem
⢠Discovering different ways to manage situations that involve such conflicts


- Impact on the professional development
"Better identifying" conflicts of loyalty, educators will be able to adapt and optimise their intervention to young people in difficulty.

- Final comments of the reviewer

It is based on experiences sharing and concrete cases analysing, encountered by the participants in their professional practice.
It suggests ideas of solutions and reflexion.
