Course content
The course provides theoretical knowledge and practical experience about innovation with vulnerable children and families. The course is concerned with developing a thorough understanding of the conditions for innovation in child welfare, both the conditions that can promote and hinder innovation. The course places particular emphasis on how innovation can be developed within one's own organization. A key approach is that the development of the child welfare field will be in interaction and partnership with various social actors, where innovation processes are also seen in a critical light.
The course is developed and organized in partnership between Trondheim municipality and NTNU, in line with the intention of the university municipality TRD 3.0. The purpose of this collaboration is to build a bridge between the municipality's practice and the research knowledge universe through experimentation and experience sharing. The course will build up in collaboration between the university and the child welfare service on research and development work in work with vulnerable children and families. The overall goal is to develop the best possible service organization and help for children and families who need it most.
