In breve
This book is about the impact of the eu on social work education,
and how within the eu social work education is evolving. It considers
the policies and regulation within the eu which impact on the status
and content of the professional preparation welfare workers receive:
the meta-issues in European social work education. The volume also
seeks to explore some of the key comparative trends across European
social work education, in relation to both innovations and accumulated
experience. It also reflects on how the identity of the social worker
is undergoing considerable revision in the 'new' Europe, and the role
education has in this process.Written by social work academics from
North, South, East andWestern Europe, some offering an analytical
picture of their national situations for the first time, the book offers
readers the opportunity to examine the pan-European picture in the
social work education field from original and innovative perspectives.
