Learning outcomes

The course aims at providing students with theoretical knowledge on the intervention method with people, according to the bifocal perspective of social work: person-environment interactions. Students will be given also the theoretical support necessary to adjust the territory to social workers operating and to acquire project management skills, involving the network of services and people in order to promote their development and growth.
A particular attention will be devoted to social network as a reading key and as a method to be used with the individual, with the community and with the different health and social care services of the territory.
During the lessons, students will be actively involved in workgroups on the subjects examined for further in-depth examination; they will have the opportunity to meet some social workers and some representatives of projects and social interventions so as to see theoretical concepts translated into professional practice.

Program
