Course content

A course led by students. Students will participate actively in project teams in the conception of a lecture or workshop. As a whole, they will develop an interdisciplinary toolbox event where the project teams can hold their lecture / workshop. The project teams consisted of local and international students. The focus of the project teams is to point out and communicate what is meant by "International Social Work". You will use your problem solving, teamwork and communication skills on your own. Your project team works autonomously and determines its own preparation schedule.
The lecturer stays in the background and offers coaching lessons.
