Quick facts about the Follow the Chain exchange program
Follow the chain
In this exchange program you will explore people and their place in the contemporary globalized world. Important concepts are globalization, power and inequality. You will dive into social issues and how they are globally connected. You will study the underlying power dynamics to get more insight in injustices and opportunities that come with globalization. And you will link this to the profession of social work.
