Social work and services for families, minors and communities

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 experience.

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

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

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