Course objectives
The goal of this course is to train students in design in the helping professions. The students have the task to design and implement a project in the field of education, i.e. in the environment where educators are commonly employed (schools, day care centres, children's homes, etc.). At the beginning of the semester, the students receive know-how in contact teaching on how to organize such a project, what topics and methods are adequate and then, under the guarantee of a representative of the department, they implement their own idea in a school or educational institution. The students also receive full support in the form of an electronic online course. In addition to the theoretical training, students will then be tasked with implementing the project (or a partial part of it), with a minimum of 20 hours.
