Stefan Eberitzsch

I am a Lecture and Resacher for Social Work. As an educational scientist I conduct theoretical and empirical studies in field of child and youth welfare. In my work, there is a strong reference to applied social work research and its impact on policy-making. I focus on topics and arrangements of the child protection system. This includes support for multi-problem families, residential care and early childhood interventions. Further research areas include the impact of social work on the setting of day schools as well as the field of youth delinquency. I have been running a seminar on serious games in social work since 2018. I am particularly interested in how games can be integrated as methods in professional social work and to what extent they can stimulate non-formal and informal educational processes.
