Patricia Vuijk (Applied research professor Public Health and Prevention for Youth) and Toby Witte (Social Care for Youngsters at Risk) collaborate in the development of work package 5, which has ‘Professionalisation into a Reflective Practitioner’ as its focus. This work package has multiple goals, such as mutual dissemination of the knowledge acquired in all the work packages and promoting evidence-based practices by current and future youth professionals. Apart from expanding cognitive and developmental psychological knowledge, this work package also revolves around the improvement of professionals' attitudes and skills. A part of the activities towards further development takes place within the community of practice of the Sheltered Workplace for Youth under the supervision of the Rotterdam Sheltered Workplace. Fourth-year students at the School of Social Work will complete their graduation research within this community every year.
