Social policy and social work contribute to processes of societal integration in the modern welfare states. During the course, we will focus on the interdependence of the two fields: a) how the reforms in social policy schemes affect social work and b) on the influence of social work(ers) on the making of social policy, as well as the role of social workers as contributors to social welfare. The course will explore theories and concepts related to social exclusion and integration, and bring examples of practical applications to be analyzed and discussed by the course participants. Learning Aims: • Understand the reciprocal relationship between social policy and social work, examining how changes in generalized social policy schemes influence social work, and conversely, how social work and social workers impact the formulation of social policy. • Explore theories and concepts related to social exclusion and integration, legal considerations, and analyze practical applications, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the interdependence between social policy and social work. Goals for Competency Enhancement: • Critically reflect on the current state of practice and research in global social welfare and social work studies, with a specific focus on the context of the Czech Republic. • Gain knowledge about topics associated with migration and family policies and social work professionalization in the Czech Republic, enabling a nuanced understanding of these crucial aspects in the field. Outcomes • Students will become familiar with the current theoretical concept and practice of social welfare and social work in the world in the Czech Republic. • Students will be able to identify opportunities, as well as obstacles and limits to the application of social work professionalization in the Czech Republic. • Students will study topics connected to migration and family policies in the Czech Republic.
