Quick facts about the Empowerment exchange program
Empowerment
The concept of empowerment is central to this exchange program. In particular, a strength-oriented and connective approach. Throughout the semester, you develop your professional identity, based on acquired knowledge and skills. You work on social innovation by conducting a study based on the empowerment framework at micro, meso and macro level.
School of Social Studies
As a professional, you have to deal with complex social issues. Issues like healthcare, quality of life, social quality and loneliness. But also parenting, inclusion, poverty and aging. Working on these issues requires groundbreaking and creative thinking and acting. That’s what we do here at the School of Social Studies.
