Here the students use their own study groups in order to create the most favourable learning conditions possible. The aim is also to enhance the ability to work together, communicate, make decisions, solve conflicts etc. By dealing with, and working on, personal experiences the students become more aware of how to influence, and how one is influenced by, the Social Work. The aim is to give basic knowledge about the theories of Social Science, applicability and limitations regarding the problems within Social Policy and Social Work. Further, to give a description of social problems and Swedish Social Policy in general.
