Prof. Dr. Dirk Nüsken, Professor of Theory and Practice in Social Work, EvH Bochum
Ekaterina Shadrova, PhD in Education, Associate Professor at Volodga State University, Russia

Socio-educational work with adolescents and young adults is one of the core elements of social work. In this course, we present current concepts and methods of working with adolescents and young adults from Germany and Russia. Attention will be given to analysing and comparing the challenges involved as well as helpful support strategies that could be engaged. In addition, attention will be given to the question of child protection and social diagnostics with adolescents, as well as the question of "care leavers". Students will be expected to present a case study based on their practical experience, for group discussion.

Dr. Marichen van der Westhuizen, Lecturer in Social Work, Hugenotte Kollege, Wellington, South Africa

Community work is seen as a social work method aimed at mezzo- and macro-levels of service delivery (i.e. working with groups and communities). In this seminar, four modules will be presented in terms of characteristics, when to use the model (contextual needs) and a process to follow. Specific techniques relevant to each model will be described to ensure that students will develop skills to implement the different models in different contexts (international/global social work).

Prof. Dr. Elke Hemminger, Professor for Sociology, EvH Bochum

Not only society as a whole but also individuals are today closely connected to scientific findings and cutting-edge technology. However, the knowledge about both possible and probable future scenarios – and the authority to make appropriate decisions in this regard – seem to be handled by a small minority of people. This course considers current technological and scientific developments (e.g. augmented reality devices, brain-computer-interfaces, artificial intelligence etc.) and asks questions about their societal and ethical implications. Taken as thought experiments, these exemplary questions can open new perspectives on the ways we might wish to design a better society. 

The course includes a field trip.

Ingrid Daniels, Director of Cape Mental Health, South Africa

The Apartheid regime prior to the new democracy in 1994 in South Africa constructed and engineered social, political and economic policies and laws based on racial segregation and discrimination. After 1994, the new democratic government of South Africa, with its Reconstruction and Development Policy, the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, No.108 of 1996, and Bill of Rights paved the way for the rights of all persons and sought to afford them dignity, equality and inclusion. Despite our challenges and the slow implementation of policies, South Africa remains a country which offers a great example in policy development and laws to facilitate inclusion and to accommodate diversity of all persons from different cultures, religions, gender, disability and race.

Prof. Dr. Theresia Degener, Professor of Law and Disability Studies, EvH Bochum, and Chairperson of the UN Committee on the Richts of Persons with Disabilities
Dr. Sarah Robinson, Lecturer, University of Suffolk, England

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) of 2006 is widely known and debated. It seeks to bring about a paradigm change from the medical model of disability to the human rights model of disability. But how this can be achieved is less clear. Human rights theories and Disability Studies perspectives are the cornerstones for a proper understanding of the CRPD. The seminar will introduce these and apply them to the right to health (art. 25) CRPD in particular.

Lectures provide a springboard for further study, and seminar sessions provide an opportunity to hone academic and professional skills.

Prof. Christiane Falge, Professor for Health and Diversity Studies
Prof. Dr. Walter-Klose, Lecturer for Disability and Inclusion Studies, Julius-Maximilians-Universitaet Wuerzburg

During this course, students will be introduced to theories and concepts of diversity in the context of healthcare. Methodologically, we approach diversity issues such as the diversities of migration, poverty, disability and sexual orientation by discussing relevant literature, offering intercultural training sessions, and participating in joint excursions to the life-worlds of the various diversity groups such as religious institutions (mosques, Hindu temples, etc.), disadvantaged neighborhoods or disability workshops etc. One of the central themes of the course is how to provide better healthcare and health promotion to marginalized people with the overall aim to achieve more equity in health.
