Abstract

The article discusses whether the fact that social pedagogy originated in Germany can be assumed to constitute a barrier to its successful establishment in the UK: would cultural and other differences suggest that social pedagogy might be 'too German' for a UK context? The article draws on material illustrating how social pedagogy travelled from Germany via Spain to Latin America, whence it has now arrived in the USA. Reflections are added as to the UK's role as an Anglo-Saxon as well as a European country.
