The course is split into two different parts.

The aim is to give the students the knowledge and skills necessary to project and critically assess social interventions in this field. In its second part, the course will deal with the topic of migration, discussing social causes and social mechanisms at the heart of the phenomenon together with its consequences on the social services demand. The aim is to give to students the knowledge and the skills necessary to elaborate critical interpretation of the migration process with particular regard to social work practices (unaccompanied minors, prostitution, economic marginality, and economic exploitation).
