Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding - Knowledge and understanding of the principles concerning the listening attitude - Knowledge and understanding of the empathic relationship Ability to apply knowledge and understanding - Ability to develop a collaborative and constructive relationship both with the user and the other professional roles involved in the helping processes. LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims at transferring the basic knowledge concerning the care process from a pedagogical perspective. Particular attention will be given to the new forms of social fragilities. The theoretical knowledge will be connected to listening skills, to a holistic conception of the fragility conditions and to the individuation of empowerment strategies for individual, families and ethnic, linguistic and religious groups. Moreover, the course will teach the basic narrative methodologies apt to recognize, understand and evaluate users problems and needs.

Program

The course aims to investigate what cultures of care today require in social service work following three lines of research:
(a) Service delivery models, for many years, have been confronted with the differences that constitute the multicultural structure of societies, what are the care devices that take into account these differences in working with families, mothers and children?
b) The scenario of needs, modified by the pandemic, has set in motion countless actions by associations, citizens' movements and family networks. How have the services taken them into account? How can we rethink relations between services and individuals, families and the territory?
c) The theoretical assumption that runs through the course is that taking care of others implies, on an existential level, also taking care of oneself. Care work, 'care' (the expression of what is dear to us) is an act that touches the emotional, personal and professional spheres; what posture can social workers embody in their work?
We will deepen knowledge, tools and skills aimed at having care, receiving care and creating situations of 'micro-community' in which 'doing care' takes place through co-responsibility and sharing of the Power of Care. Privileged witnesses will be present on the theme of care devices with migrant families (point a) and associative movements during the pandemic (point b). As regards point c, working tools on taking care of oneself in social service work will be tested.

Examination Methods

The examination will be oral on the study texts and lecture content.
Objectives of the examination
Students are asked to demonstrate that they have
- have acquired the theoretical foundations of care (chapters by Mortari, Bianchi) and the issues of the risk of abuse of power in care work (chapter by McKnight);
- connect the contents of the lectures with their own experience of training in relation to caring for others;
- To be able to critically and self-critically analyse complex situations presented in the course of the course
- To formulate arguments related to the topics of the course in a critical and propositional way, highlighting doubts, possible proposals for interpreting the transformations of the needs of the beneficiaries of the services.


Assessment methods.

The oral exam is evaluated in thirtieths.

ERASMUS students are requested to contact the lecturer at the beginning of the course in order to agree on the teaching methods and assessment tests.
