1st Learning – Teaching Event, Berlin, 6-10/5/2019

Interdisciplinary Cooperation in Psychosocial Interventions

With a guided tour through Berlin led by refugees serving as the highlight, the 1st Learning – Teaching Event of InterAct programme took place between May 6th – 10th 2019 at the IB University of Applied Health and Social Sciences campus in Berlin. The event is part of the Erasmus+ funded project “InterAct – Interdisciplinary Cooperation in Psychosocial Interventions”.

Students, teachers, refugees and experts from Germany, Greece, Catalonia, Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands thoroughly examined success factors of interdisciplinary cooperation in psychosocial interventions for refugees, by combining teaching and training models, experiences from practice and corresponding research evidence.

Its agenda ran through a series of sessions and workshops which aimed to provide evidence and good practice for actors in higher education, practice and policy making and support all actors in promoting innovation in relation to education, training and care delivery systems.

Each individual contributed to making the week a special experience for everyone, including a barbecue dinner that gave the opportunity to get to know each other.

Below is the schedule and the poster of the 1st Learning – Teaching Event, followed by presentations of participants:
