INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL WORK, SOCIAL SERVICES, AND SOCIAL POLICY
The objective of the degree is to train social intervention professionals in Social Work intervention methodologies, with a broad understanding of social structures and processes, social change and human behavior, which enable them to: intervene in social contexts and institutions in which individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities live, assisting, dealing with conflicts, carrying out tasks of mediation, help, education, defense, animation and transforming said contexts, including political-social ones; participate in the formulation and evaluation of policies, services and social initiatives; contribute to active citizenship through "empowerment" and the guarantee of human and social rights; work on the prevention of social problems. Social Work is a profession and a discipline strongly linked to the context in which it develops in such a way that it is influenced by historical, political, social, economic and/or cultural variables. Thus, it is possible to find substantial variations both in the needs and in the Social Policies that respond to them and in the processes of creation and development of Social Work as a profession and as a discipline in the different continents or between countries of the same continent. Even in each country we can also find differences between or within regions In accordance with the foregoing and taking into account the general and specific competences that, according to the Degree Report, correspond to the B2 subject "Social Policies and Social Work", the subject “International Social Work, Social Services and Social Policy” contributes to the training of social workers by providing them with instruments for the comparative international analysis of Social Work and the contexts in which it is practiced. Likewise, it is useful for students who plan to participate in international mobility university programs and for international students who study at the University of Alicante.
