| CONTENTS |
The course covers welfare work in practice, its working method and methods, and its organisational and institutional conditions. Cooperation between different organisations and actors in the welfare sector is also covered, and the conditions of cooperation are problematised. The different actors of welfare work, both in the public sector and civil society are analysed. The meeting and the interaction between citizens and welfare participants are problematised. Professionalisation is studied in relation to different perspectives on power.
The course is divided into two modules, of which the first is focused on current perspectives on welfare work in practice, while the second module is focused on questions regarding leading change management in the welfare sector. The starting point of the course is to examine welfare from a perspective of change.
