General information 

Resilience, realising one's own potential, self-reliance, these are some of the concepts behind the capability approach. You will explore the conceptual aspects of empowerment from three perspectives:

  1. community development approaches used in developing countries;
  2. Dutch ideas arising from the innovations of New Style Welfare such as the functional social work infrastructure;
  3. and 'positive' psychology approaches like mindfulness.

But it is not only theory that you will be engaged with. You will get 'hands on' learning experiences in ways to help clients be empowered to navigate the pathway (back) to greater inclusion, whether this means finding employment or participating in society in non-salaried activities. Approximately one third of the students will be Dutch and two thirds international. The activities are carried out in multinational and multicultural groups so you will learn skills of intercultural communication for yourself as well as social work empowerment of clients.

Programme outline

Capability Approach – Exchange Semester

Capability Approach focuses on widening your understanding of an innovation in the thinking of social services providers. Instead of focusing on problems the approach is aimed at stimulating and supporting the strengths of the people involved not providing them with prepared solutions. It offers you the opportunity to actively engage in multidisciplinary professional practice for empowering marginal individual and groups in society. You will be a member of a team of experts who are asked to produced a volume of professional journal, along with other teams who produce their own journal. The Journal entries will clearly be embedded in theory and in the practical experiences you undergo. For example, interviews with experts in empowering methods, approaches and models will be carried out and presented in critical articles. You will acquire skills needed to make a creative and professional journal in classes.
