Case Study Activity

The International Conference on Diversity in Organizations, Communities & Nations is pleased to announce the Conference Case Study

Recognition of Fields of Action in Social Work

Considering the time available to recognise fields of action in Social Work, as well as travel times within Mexico City, it is proposed to conduct a Case study at the Central Campus of Ciudad Universitaria.

Activity Description

Participants at the Conference are invited to take a guided tour of the Central Campus of Ciudad Universitaria. At the end of the tour, a space for academic exchange will be established, with four practice groups composed of faculty and students who will present concrete intervention experiences across different areas of Social Work.

Work lines to be presented

a) Forced displacement: work with the Triqui Community (indigenous people of Oaxaca).

b) Support for migrants through Civil Society Organizations.

c) Intervention with women in situations of very high social exclusion.

d) Work with older adults from the perspective of social consultancy.

Methodology

At the end of the course, participants will be able to join the group of their interest to interact directly with the faculty and students responsible for each line of work.

Each group will prepare informational materials and educational resources that allow for concise sharing:

• Addressed issues

• Intervention strategies

• Work methodologies

• Results and learnings

• Current challenges in the professional field

Objective

To create a space for direct engagement with real experiences of Social Work intervention in Mexico, promoting the exchange of knowledge and academic-professional dialogue.
