INFO SESSION: PSU Faculty-Led: Germany: Berlin: Youth Development & Social Work (IN-PERSON)

Youth Social Work in Germany

What can Germany teach us about supporting young people?

Join us for an immersive program in Berlin exploring how Germany approaches youth social services and community support. Through site visits, lectures, classroom observations, and cultural activities, you’ll engage with organizations, professionals, and educational settings that shape youth services in an urban German context.

Compare how cultural, social, and institutional factors influence approaches to youth support while connecting course concepts to real-world experiences. Gain a broader perspective on social services and consider how different communities respond to the needs of young people.

Open to students from many majors, this program is especially suited for students interested in social work, youth and family studies, human services, psychology, education, sociology, criminology, and international studies.
