The Department of Social Work and the International Office Linz invite teaching colleagues to take an active part in this program by giving a lecture or leading a workshop (eligible for Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility funding). Students are invited to join us and receive up to 3 ECTS for their participation.
In addition to lectures and workshops, our program will include site visits to social organizations active in a variety of different areas, such as immigration, social work with offenders or drugs and addiction.
The IDSW will be held as an Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program (BIP). That means, that your home university might be able to grant you Erasmus+ funding for "short term mobility". If you want to use this opportunity, please contact your International Office and ask them about further details.
