The course runs mostly online, on Zoom, with discussions, lectures and seminars. Participants are expected to contribute to the design of the course.

The course has two moduless of 7.5 credits each and together they run on half-time during spring week 4-24, Wednesdays (11:00-12:30) and Fridays (11:00-13:00) with some exceptions for special planning, for example longer guest lectures, examinations. All sessions are recorded and distributed to the course participants for the purpose of in-depth studies or the chance to catch up on missed sessions.

During week 15, we meet for three days, Friday-Sunday, on site at Stockholm University of the Arts in order to test / share material and reflect on the leadership role.

The module Practical Application, 7.5 credits is practiced within your practice, i.e. your teaching / dance context, where you try to translate the course content and where you process your experiences into a basis to start a portfolio.

The course is independent with a collaboration with GIH (The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences), which conducts two profile courses for the same target group.
