Internationalization at Home
More internationalization at home is hardly possible. From November 18 to 29, this year's Fall School in the Bachelor of Social Work of the Faculty of Applied Social Studies took place on the topic of "Urban Art", led by Prof. Dr. Jochem Kotthaus(Opens in a new tab) , Shawna Farrell and Nicholas Recker.
With 16 students, four of whom came from the USA(Metropolitan State University Denver(Opens in a new tab) ) and Belgium(Odisee University of Applied Sciences(Opens in a new tab) ), the event was a complete success in terms of content and networking.
