AIEJI is dedicated to publishing papers and documents that discuss the ethical guidelines, the professional platform, the qualifications and competencies, the challenges and the development of social educators as a profession and its field of work.

Working with persons with developmental disabilities
In 2010, AIEJI finalized the document Working with Persons with Developmental Disabilities – the Role of the Social Educator. The document discusses the challenges social educators meet when taking the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities into consideration in the daily actions, decisions and routines.

The professional competences of social educators
In 2006, the board of AIEJI decided to create a document that would stand as a common professional framework for social educators all over the world. The result was the document The Professional Competences of Social Educators – a conceptual framework. The purpose of this document is not to come up with a final definition of social education but to give inspiration both to the individual social educator and the social educational work places at a national level in order to develop and discuss the profession.
