Social Entrepreneurship Education, Health and SocietyThe aim is
to work in improv-ing health and living conditions by means of
innovative processes.
This semester is aimed at people studying to be teachers,
educators or students within the field of health and people who are
interested in finding new ways of working to im-prove health and
living conditions.
The philosophy of this semester is that all over the world we
encounter challenges in relation to health and living conditions
that create a de-mand for creativity and new thinking among the
professionals who are in-volved in forming the framework for the
development and wellbeing of children, young people and adults.
You will, therefore, in the course of this semester be
introduced to inno-vative methods that create the pos-sibility for
social entrepreneurship.You will be challenged as regards
your convictions as to what is possi-ble and how these
challenges shouldbe met.
In other words, a completely differ-ent way of coping with
professional challenges.
An important part in this semester is the two weeks practice
that will take place in schools or at other in-stitutions that are
relevant to your home studies. Also you will experi-ence a more
untraditional practice/field work for 3 weeks, creating inno-vative
solutions for specific challeng-es given to you by
schools/institu-tions locally.You will experience Danish culture
and be introduced to the Danish wel-fare system.
