International conference in Cottbus sheds light on individual and social participation

Participation begins with the very young. An international conference at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) is examining how participation can succeed from childhood to the last years of life. 65 experts from science and practice will discuss how participation can succeed on an individual, structural and societal level. The conference topics include the participation of citizens in the city, of students in academic development, social reintegration, and the use of digital technology to enhance students' learning skills.

The conference is part of the project HAW International BTU - A Teaching and Research Network in the East within the DAAD program for the internationalization of universities of applied sciences. The background to the project are two integrated, binational social work programs already running successfully at the BTU: German-Romanian and German-Polish. They enable students to obtain a German and Romanian or a German and Polish degree.
