We invite you to participate in the conference EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE SPOTLIGHT.
This one-day conference provides an introduction to experiential knowledge as an important source of knowledge in social work, medical and nursing education. What is experiential knowledge? How to use the experiences of service users (clients, patients) of social work and health services?
The conference will consist of a mix of presentations and workshops. It can be combined with a follow-up seminar on 23rd and 24th May. The conference is part of the Erasmus+ Partnership on Experiential Knowledge in Higher Education, in which 12 universities from 10 different countries participate, in collaboration with local and national partners, as well as the PowerUs network and the CARe Network.
