Teaching methods, workshops and internships

The training course has a strongly interdisciplinary character. To integrate theoretical knowledge and methodological-professional skills, the course is characterized by an articulated proposal of workshops, guided exercises, seminars and opportunities for discussion with social workers, managers, users and family members who are experts in terms of experience.

The internship plays a significant role in the degree programme: it facilitates the focus of the thematic area for the thesis and allows students to experience original and innovative social work contexts and functions. The internship consists of an experience in which the student offers his/her collaboration to a Service, an organization or a community in order to conceive, organize and implement a participatory intervention project that may focus on the implementation of social work or social research or middle management activities. The internship is carried out with the support of course teachers specifically appointed to tutorship functions, who follow the students both individually and through group meetings.

The format

In order to facilitate the performance of professional teaching activities by off-site students, the Faculty, enhancing the wide and consolidated network of relations with public and private territorial services, promotes and facilitates the carrying out of internships in the territorial communities to which the students belong.

Didactics

The courses are supported through distance learning tools (Blackboard platform), accessible to enrolled students via their personal computer.
