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
Two-day training for educators and other education staff members.
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.
