Changing Society: An International and Interdisciplinary Perspective (OS-ChanSo)

Are you interested to test your acquired skills in the real world? Our international module OS-ChanSo (2 weeks – 6 ECTS) will help you develop two key competences that are of great importance to you as a future professional: creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration.

What

Occupational therapy and social work students combine perspectives and strengths. You will learn all about working in a very diverse and globalized context.  As the focus lies on reflection, theory, hands-on work, this two- week module offers you an experience that is quite out of the box. You will participate in seminars, workshops and field visits, all aiming at a streetwise and innovative professional practice.
During the programme, you collaborate closely with other students and experts and learn all about the fascinating crossover between occupational therapy and social work. The focus of the programme lies on the ongoing change in society. As this module is organized in Belgium, the focus is on the Antwerp metropolitan context.

The module is organized in close collaboration with VIA University College (Denmark)
