Students therapy and social work 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 module offers you an experience that is quite out of the box. You will participate in online and onsite seminars, workshops and field visits, all aiming at a streetwise and innovative professional practice.

This module starts with a one week online module (5 days in the month February) where students participate in live sessions and work packages in small groups.  The second week of this module is organized in Antwerp.

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)
