Learning objectives

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
- advanced theoretical and technical-methodological knowledge, with particular regard to the analysis and understanding of the social, welfare and health institutions
- multidisciplinary knowledge aimed at critical analysis of specific social problems
- multidisciplinary knowledge aimed at reflecting on the dynamics in which the service is located.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
- ability to interpret the different situations of hardship and to promote the well-being of the community;
- reading and decision-making skills inherent to the problems of integration between social and health services;
- mastery in the use of data collection and information tools.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES The course aims to provide the conceptual elements necessary to develop an adequate sociological interpretation of emerging social dynamics (such as migratory processes and the emergence of Third sector organizations as actors in the integrated social work system). Students will develop skills of decision making concerning the issues of social integration between different social groups and between social and health services, public and Third sector. The module Sociology of the Third Sector will offer insights into the role that the third sector can play in the context of the welfare state crisis. The Multiculturalism and Recognition Theories module aims to transmit the knowledge for a critical analysis of migration and of the claim of cultural identities to highlight elements of similarity and differences with respect to the struggles for recognition. The Social Network Analysis and Network Intervention module presents concepts and tools for the analysis of social networks in their structural and symbolic dimensions. The conceptual elements introduced by the course will allow to realize innovative social intervention projects based on the network intervention and the design of third sector services.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade is the result of the assessments obtained in the individual modules, through the processing of the average value which, depending on the case (<0.5 or> = 0.5),
is rounded up or down. The grade with lode obtained in the singular modules is recorded with the numerical value 31 and contributes to the final average.
