Minor Challenging Youth
ECTS:
Code: MIPA30*
This English-taught Minor program presents students with topic surrounding youth and education, thereby focusing on themes that might be understood as challenges in one way or other: We discuss how violence in families and juvenile delinquency impact on development; study the roles of gender, sexuality, and diversity in education, and explore how the images of children and young people changed during history. In lectures, seminars, and project groups students broaden their knowledge on youth and develop a critical approach to understanding youth-related themes and debates.
The 30 ECTS minor comprises the entire first semester (1a+1b). Alternatively, students can sign up for individual courses.
*Starting from the 2025-2026 academic year, the 15EC variant will no longer be offered.
