The main objective of the course is to comprehensively introduce participants to the specifics of social work with children. The course program includes both theoretical foundations and practical aspects of this area, which allows students to gain a broad professional perspective.
Classes are conducted in a workshop format, which allows participants to actively engage in the learning process through simulations, case studies and interactive exercises. Thanks to this, students can experience the challenges faced by professionals working with children, which helps to better understand the issues and more effectively assimilate the material.
During the course, key theories related to child development, intervention methods and support strategies that can be used in practice are discussed. The knowledge and skills acquired help future educators and social workers to work effectively with children, preparing them to make responsible decisions and use appropriate tools in various professional situations.
