Alumnis of the course are qualified to combine their own experiences of their diverse life situations with their skills in the field of counseling as a basis for successful peer counseling. The practice is developed by FH Joanneum, Department of Social Work, in Graz, Austria. Interested people need to have a pre-information meeting with an association or social institution dealing with their particular diverse background with regard to disabilities and health problems. Afterwards generic information about the fellow is collected through a oral interview with at least one regional expert institution in the field of representing groups with disabilities and health problems. Diversity dimension according to Erasmus+ priorities: disabilities, health problems, barriers linked to discrimination. Peer Counseling can be transferred to other spheres of diversity. |
