Wired for Connection – - Ensuring human-centredness in the digitalizing world of health care, social services and education

You Serious? An Inclusive Society for Young People!

Erasmus+ BIP (from 03/03/2026 to 21/04/2026)

Young people are among the most vulnerable in our society. In some cases, children grow up in disadvantaged situations, for example at risk of poverty or due to child abuse. Many young people therefore face social exclusion. Social services, provided for instance through social work and child protection, can provide innovative and creative approaches to build inclusive, safe and sustainable communities for young people and to minimise social inequalities. In multidisciplinary student design teams, you will be challenged to apply critical thinking and enhance the well-being of young people and develop innovative solutions.
