Teachers and representatives from service user organizations in different parts of the world are involved in the film, which is made with the help of the media department at Lund University. Among other things, the film will cover the spring round of the course Social work as mobilization and entrepreneurship, where aspiring social work students taking a course with students who have been recruited from different service user organizations. During the film festival we were visited by teachers and students from Germany, Switzerland, South Africa and Denmark. The idea is that the film will inspire and provoke thoughts about new pedagogical methods in teaching based on the interaction between the profession and those representing service user organizations.
