Throughout the course, relevant theories as well as practical, systematic guidelines are introduced. Students can use theory and guidelines when analyzing social, health, and organizational issues, when analyzing existing successful or unsuccessful interventions, and when designing their own intervention. To this end, concrete topics and themes from the social, health, and organizational field are discussed during the course (e.g., health, productivity, collaboration, conflict, diversity, wellbeing). Students will need to use their knowledge on behavior and behavior change in order to analyze and design interventions for existing social, health, and organizational issues. Throughout the course, students are coached by the lecturers, when to move through the different phases of designing an intervention and applying their knowledge.
