Objectives

You are able to:
- Explain the client’s needs as the starting point for multidisciplinary networking
- Assess/describe/support the client’s role in multidisciplinary networks
- Describe multidisciplinarity as action that brings together and crosses the borders of different administrative sectors and disciplines
- Identify different ways of working and working methods when working in multidisciplinary networks
- Compare different forms of cooperation
- Describe the processes of networking and apply them in your own work

Content

The course discusses the theoretical principles and methodological starting points of multidisciplinary networking and examines the client’s role as part of multidisciplinary and reciprocal networking. The course addresses the conceptual differences in multi-party collaboration and the ways how multiprofessional, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration appears in practice. The course explores the relationship between different operating practices and the degree of trust in networking based on current research.
