    Also valid for First cycle degree programme (L) in Social Work (cod. 8040)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the workshop, students have a critical and up-to-date knowledge of social work with migrants; as well as a knowledge of the responses deployed by social work services.

Course contents

Based on the experience acquired by and by social workers who work with migrant users on a daily basis, the course provides for a series of eight seminar meetings aimed at investigating the specific nature of social work with migrants, their access to services and the social intervention practices implemented. Assuming that social work with foreigners questions the profession of social worker in various respects, the Workshop intends to investigate the different areas of intervention by analysing the main profiles within the foreign population that has a relationship with social services, starting from the knowledge and skills of those who have been working in this professional field for years.

At the beginning of the first semester, the final schedule of the seminars and their contents, the procedures for the final exam and any other information useful for attending the training activity will be communicated.
