Study Guide

Learning outcomes

The student is able to
- broadly perceive different local and global factors that influence Social Services now and in the future
- identify different local and global programs and future plans within Social Services
- recognize different ethical, creative and sustainable working methods in Social Services, community work and client counselling
- identify and acknowledge the best practices and multi-professional, creative and sustainable solutions within Social Services, community work and client counselling

Teaching methods

Due to the corona situation, Global Challenges and Possibilities within Social Services, Community Work and Client Counselling will take place online. We will have a kick off-session in Zoom on Wednesday 13.5.2020 between 9-11. After that you can work on the assignments at your own pace - though you should bear in mind that this course will be rather intensive, as it only lasts one month (11.5.-10.6.2020). There will be individual and pair/group assignments.
 

Location and time

> Kick off-meeting on Wednesday 13.5.2020
> Intensive week 25.-31.5.2020

During the final week of May (25.-31.5.) we will have an "intensive week", during which you will get to see other students' learning outcomes and comment them. Before the intensive week, each student will produce a short video presentation that other students can then comment on and start a discussion about the theme. (Commenting and discussion can take place at any time of the day.)

Active participation during the intensive week (in commenting and discussion) is expected from everyone. :) Further instructions will be given when the course starts.

Learning materials and recommended literature

All relevant materials will be provided during the course.
