Socially acute questions (religion, sexuality, environment…) are presently entering schools, starting debates and putting in question the development of young people into citizens. If research regarding teachers is abundant in this regard, the situation of the educational counsellors has not been explored. These agents can within the scope of their missions have difficulties in making choices, in going beyond purely normative attitudes and in using these issues in order to promote the development of their pupils into autonomous individuals and citizens. How can knowledge and values dovetail without training in these areas? How best to communicate in order to ensure their transmission? How can pupils be engaged by these issues and what modalities are best used to promote engagement? This clinical study focuses on the projects of CPE interns in different INSPE ( Institut national supérieur du professorat et de l’éducation or National higher institutes for teaching and education) regarding SAQs: understanding of the issues at stake, educational goals, educational leverage, but also apprehensions, difficulties, and how to go beyond them.
