Post-gra­dua­te trai­ning »Com­mu­nity Music«

Blick auf eine Gruppe Erwachsene, die an der Gitarre begleitet zusammen singen

Music as a social practice plays an important role in many environments and cultural contexts. Experiencing music together introduces communicative potential that can be used by social workers. This post-graduate programme, developed and realised by the Nordkolleg Rendsburg, concludes with the academic graduation degree Certificate of Advanced Studies (10 ECTS). You will be qualified to develop, implement and reflect musical offers from the fields of social work as a diversity- and context-sensitive instructor. A combination of digital formats and in-person attendance courses provides you with maximal flexibility in your extra occupational qualification.
