Content
Social work starts from international principles such as social justice and human rights. It aims at:
social change and development
social cohesion
empowerment
the liberation of people
Social work is influenced by the (political) context in which it takes place. Therefore, in the course 'Global and local social work', we engage in a dialogue with students from other European institutions. We try to find out how in other European contexts these principles influence the evolution and design of social work.
Social Work in an International Context deals with the following themes:
- global awareness and global engagement
- international social work
