Class Social Work Practice Workshops II

The Social Work Practice II is an integrated unit in the second year of the Social Work degree. It aims to develop social and professional skills within the framework of an integrated approach, articulating the necessary resources for social intervention that enable the diagnosis and construction of responses to the expressions of social issues in their complexity. This course seeks to teach students fundamental conceptual and operative instruments for formulating and operationalizing intervention methodologies to support professional practice. It also aims to solidify the theoretical knowledge acquired about the professional practice of Social Workers and collaborative work within networks, aiming to enhance a synergy of resources.
