Learning Objectives - Part A
The aim of the workshop is to provide students with knowledge of a conceptual framework and some basic skills on community work in social intervention. With the laboratory we acquire elements of connection between job on the territory and the operativity of the service and it is widened the operational dimension of the social worker, thanks to the reading first and the connection then,potential in the relevant territorial context.
Learning Objectives - Part B
The general objective of the Workshop is to offer a cultural-methodological framework of reference and
overall orientation with respect to the disciplinary field of the emergency social service. Therefore, the framework of a new cultural and disciplinary field of professional social work and the consequent profile of a new figure of social worker will be defined in advance.
There will then be two specific objectives of the Workshop.
The first, more limited and contingent which will involve the two initial meetings of the Workshop, will focus on the consequences that the COVID-19 emergency had in increasing the material, economic and socio-health difficulties of the weakest part of the Italian population, with particular reference to the immigrant population.
The second group of meetings of the Workshop (five) will focus on the following specific objectives:
- provide general reference frameworks with respect to the issue of social emergencies today, with particular attention
reference to personal and family emergencies;
- define and profile the work of emergency social service with an eye to others as well
disciplines (sociology, psychology, emergency medicine);
- proceed with a reconstruction and an analysis of the current way of social services to address
'personal and family emergencies', their difficulties and the ways of operating;
- acquire adequate cognitive tools to recognize the specificity of taking charge of
personal and family emergency situations compared to that of situations, even critical ones, but
typical of taking charge of ordinary work;
- acquire the main methodological elements specific to the new field of work of the service
emergency social work to identify a new profile of social worker specifically trained in the professional work of emergency social work;
- propose a cultural and organizational framework of prompt social intervention, as concrete
translation of the provisions of art. 22, c. 4, lett. b of L. 328/2000;
- frame and describe the functions, activities, operating methods of the PIS and the integration methods
in the territorial network of social services.
