            Project title: Innovation by supporting reflexivity and participation (INORP): Strengtheni
            professionalization of social work on the border of other professions

            Why
            • The importance of promoting reflexivity in education, along with the emphasis on coopera
            participation and inclusion of service users, have been discussed for decades. Still, we u

            not find these concepts in Social Work educational curricula. From a cultural perspective,
            significant differences in the implementation of these concepts, and they are rarely proje


            • Due to the rapid changes in society, we anticipate a decline in the importance of prescr
            and rapidly obsolete learning in social work. What we are, on the other hand, expecting is
            the ability to reflexively and participatory shape cooperation and solutions. These will b

            in complex "frontier" situations involving several different disciplines (health and socia
            with different identities (e.g. teachers x students, users x social workers). In this, we 
            possible mission of a social expert: Work in an interdisciplinary environment.


            • The concepts of reflexivity and participation are ambiguous; they have many forms and le
            participation often remains at the level of user inquiry; it is "politically" abused.


            • We want to look at service practice and research in different countries, compare and des
            good practice in social work through the lens of curricula and publications, and together 

            teachers prepare small case studies that will be based on working together. All this will 
            for our practical guide that will contain examples of how to do it. Simultaneously, we wil

            Goal:
            The project aims to strengthen the skills and abilities of teachers, students, eventually 

            stakeholders from various group identities, including social and health, or professional a
            professional. It will focus on the know-how of participatory and inclusive approaches and 
            based cooperation initiated by a student or teacher or social worker in various areas of s

            Examples include reflexive participatory case management, evaluation and development of a 
            reflexively guided support for network cooperation or a reflexive and participatory resear
            meaningful subject of reflexively conceived joint research will also be the possibilities 

            mutual empowerment and strengthening in the field of knowledge.
            Project outputs:
            As a result of the project activities including expert analyzes, educational events, case 

            practice evaluations, a Practice Guide will be developed for students, teachers and other 
            (users and community service leaders) for skills development, case studies and projects ba
            cooperation and participatory and inclusive decision-making, together with guidelines and 

            to shape such collaboration. Furthermore, a curriculum of an elective module course will b
            will lead the applicant to adopt participatory and inclusive approaches and reflexively ba
            in practice and research in social work and on its border.
