Conference: Peer Support and Experiential Knowledge
Welcome to three days of an international conference (day one) and training and seminar days on using personal experience in health- and social work practice, education and research. The conference and training days are hosted by the School of Social Work and the ERASMUS partnership Experiential Knowledge.
The aim of the conference is to promote awareness of using personal experience from service users, practitioners, teachers and students in the development and improvement of health- and social work practice, education and research.
Three internationally recognized keynote speakers representing important issues within social mobilization, social work practice and education, will present how experiences of people have affected their work. The keynotes will take part in workshops, discussing the development and use of experiential knowledge within their area.
The two training days offers you a broad range of parallel seminars, with reseachers and colleagues from our network and a plenary session on Experiential Knowledge and Partnership Experiental Knowledge.
