  13. Students voices ”Before starting this course I had a strong provision that distance learning is not suitable for social work studies. I was definitely wrong. Modern technologies provide us with possibilities to communicate in a different way, which also widen our view on a field of social work”

  14. Students voices “They have made me question many things, and I start to think about how different we can interpret things in life. This is a good learning experience for social workers, I think.”

  15. Students voices “ They made me think a lot and understand that there is many different angles to se things. Not just the different pictures but also in life. I think you should keep on with the triggers because they start a "thinking process", at least in my case”.
