SOSU Nord is searching for VET school partner in social and health care – job shadowing and student work placement in psychiatry.
SOSU Nord is a VET College in Denmark engaged in internationalization, e.g. international exchange of both employees and students. So far, we have primarily engaged in international partnerships in the somatic field and in the pedagogical field. However, we now wish to focus on the psychiatric field, as this is an essential part of the education to become Social- and Healthcare Assistant. We are thus searching for a partner school in Sweden, Norway or Swedish speaking Finland to exchange knowledge, experience and best practice and with whom we can collaborate to send employees and students to do job shadowing and work placement. Focus on the partnership will be Psychiatric nursing and rehabilitation in the coherent healthcare system.

Violence Awareness Raising - from campaign to everyday practice (working title)
The city of Gothenburg has, for many years, worked towards the prevention of domestic violence. A topic of interest is for example notions of violence and threats as legitimate expressions of masculinity that should be actively counteracted in contexts that are particularly important in shaping the identity of boys and young men. Today, we know that the best way to prevent violence from occurring is to start with children and youths. There are many children and youth centres in the city, where staff have the possibility to reach out to young people and raise awareness, but these are difficult subjects to address. Through this project we want to collaborate with public bodies, local youth centres and civil society organisations to develop new tools and methods to support informal learning among youths.
