MODULE 4

Practical Placement: 7 ECTS Points

This module gives the student the possibility to choose an individual practical placement at a specific pedagogical facility focusing on outdoor activities or health and physically oriented pedagogical activities.
Focus will be on the student's ability to observe and participate in pedagogical activities.
