In the first LIA course, students test their theoretical knowledge in a practical context and bring their experiences back into a developing dialogue about practice and theory. In this first LIA course, the focus is on the basic factors and methods of social pedagogy work. Students get the opportunity to reflect on documented experiences at the LIA placement and relate them to the content of the courses they have completed.
