Book excerpt: Walter Lorenz believes that social work has a vital role to play in promoting effective European integration. Social work can do much to help the development of a civil society that integrates cultural diversity and personal identity - above all, by confronting racism at all levels and by taking part in the transformation of welfare structures towards user-controlled services. Lorenz gives a descriptive view of the current state of social work in Europe, looking at the historical and conceptual origins of social work in different countries and showing how these account for differences in practice. He draws on the rich diversity of European social work traditions to inform readers about the variety of approaches across Europe, and to consider how social work will respond to the challenge of the 'New Europe'.

Book Synopsis Social Work and Europe by : Crescy Cannan
Download or read book Social Work and Europe written by Crescy Cannan and published by Red Globe Press. This book was released on 1992-10-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European community has gradually taken on a more human face, but although its leaders promote a vision of a social community with improved standards for all it is clear that some people will be excluded or marginalized. This book takes a timely look at the implications for social work in Europe of rapid changes in the EC social agendas. It is increasingly possible to identify common themes and concerns within European countries, such as child protection, the number of people in residential care, and youth unemployment. New issues are also emerging: greater mobility across national boundaries and the need for increased contact and agreed social work responses between European welfare agencies. The book examines the concepts of citizenship, participation and marginalization, at EC and national levels, and discusses their relevance to social work policy and practice. It blends description and explanation with analysis, and clarifies terminology commonly used in European social work but less familiar to a British readership. At a time of change in British social work, and in a climate of increased emphasis on consumer rights, the book examines the different conceptions of social work, particularly in France and Germany, and revives notions of the relevance of prevention and social action. Finally, the authors suggest that the political and social changes in Europe provide a positive opportunity for British social workers to re-examine their aims and methods, and to contribute to shaping a new European social work.

Book Synopsis Social Change, Social Policy and Social Work in the New Europe by : Anna Kwak
Download or read book Social Change, Social Policy and Social Work in the New Europe written by Anna Kwak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this edited volume reflected on the role of universities and aimed to improve the preparation of social welfare professionals by the University of Warsaw for employment in the new market-oriented society that was being created in Poland after the end of ‘real socialism’ in 1989. Many of its articles were previously published in Polish and were published, revised and updated, in English for the first time in this collection. The contributors discuss two key issues. First, should universities worry about the employment of their graduates and the skills that are needed by the wider economy and society or just focus on transmitting advanced learning? Second, they considered the modernisation of the welfare state. The Polish experience, and the Western partners’ reaction to it, has proved an excellent case study for these issues.

The Awardees’ diverse lives and professional experiences reveal the issues they faced, the paths they travelled and the prospects and threats confronting social work and its education more widely.

Book Synopsis Perspectives on European Social Work by : Walter Lorenz
Download or read book Perspectives on European Social Work written by Walter Lorenz and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2006-06-22 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers explanations and clarifications for the bewildering variety of titles and job profiles in the social professions in Europe. It presents them both as a product of specific national welfare arrangements and as a sign of a special kind of professional autonomy that so far helped to correct national welfare trends. Now this autonomy is once more called for in the light of the complete re-structuring of all European welfare states and a European model of social work could deliver impulses for real alternatives to growing exclusion and inequality.

This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Social Pedagogy / Social Work, grade: 1,3, University of L neburg (Fakult t I: Bildungs-, Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften), course: Internationale Arbeitsfelder f r P dagogen, 18 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The majority of my fellow-students is thinking about the possibility of working in other european countries. Not only the current unemployment rates and the bitter cuts in our welfare system are forcing future german social pedagogs to become familiar with the thought of leaving their home country. It's also the fascination and a kind of curiosity of seeing how other countries are dealing with their specific social problems. Which importance does social work have in other european countries? What are the main points concerning the work of social workers in specific european countries? What are the key themes in european social work? These are the main questions I'd like to answer with this term paper. At first I'd like to define the term "welfare state" as a basic condition for social work. After that I'd like to shortly introduce the countries I've chosen for this term paper, also giving an insight into the different educational systems (to clarify the different conditions under which young people are able to receive the vocational training) and afterwards point out the different social work educations. After that I'd like to have a look at social work in a changing europe in general. At the end I'll try to give a prospectus on the basis of the cognitions I've received concerning social work in Europe in general.

However it requires practitioners equipped with key skills to empower individuals and communities and rooted in values which stimulate them to promote social justice. It is heartening that social work educators are at the forefront of equipping social workers with the skills and values to promote a better society. This book will open hearts and minds to achieve these ends′ - Bob Holman, former Community Worker and Professor of Social Policy Social Work: A Companion to Learning is an exciting and definitive new book that will equip readers with the core knowledge and skills they need to successfully complete their social work training, and go on to be an effective practitioner.

Book Synopsis Paid Migrant Domestic Labour in a Changing Europe by : Berit Gullikstad
Download or read book Paid Migrant Domestic Labour in a Changing Europe written by Berit Gullikstad and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the changing face of work, gender equality and citizenship in Europe. Drawing on in-depth research conducted in nine different countries, it focuses on the discourses, social relations and political processes that surround paid domestic labour. In doing so, it rethinks the vital relationship between this kind of employment, the formal and informal citizenship of migrant workers and their employers, and the cultural and political value of gender equality. Approaching these as fluid, complex and interrelated phenomena that change according to local context, it will appeal to sociologists, political scientists, geographers, anthropologists and gender studies scholars.
