Learning outcomes

The student is able to
- analyse the special needs of client groups and strengthen client inclusion in communities and society
- outline well-being and social problems
- examine social structures that create and maintain social exclusion
- recognise the importance of civic activities in social work

Teaching methods

This course will be implemented through contact lessons, excursions to service providers and cooperation partners as well as a project.

The main focus areas are on the special needs of client groups for ensuring community and social inclusion; the issues and social stuctures that cause social exclusion; well-being and the importance of civic activities in social work.

Course attendance requirements: Attendance is compulsory for all lessons unless agreed separately in class. You need to attend a minimum of 80% of classes, so in case there are, for example, 10 contact times, each 4 hours, you can miss three 4-hour classes (12 hours). If your absences are more than that, your grade will drop by one, for example from 3 to 2. In case your absences exceed 70% of contact hours, you need to consult your teacher on how to finalize the course (this could mean retaking the whole course, doing supplementary tasks or taking additional classes, if available). In case your tasks are considerably late but completed during the term in question, this will also affect your grade by -1. If the required tasks and requirements are not met, you need to enroll again for the course. For supplementary or delayed tasks, there will be no feedback.
