This book offers a comprehensive examination of the European Joint Master in Social Work with Children and Youth (ESWOCHY) programme, developed collaboratively by four partners: Mykolas Romeris University (Lithuania), Riga Stradins University (Latvia), the Catholic University in Ruzomberok (Slovakia) and the University Institute of Lisbon (Portugal). Drawing on the experiences and perspectives of educators, graduates, and practitioners, the contributed volume explores how innovative pedagogical approaches, research integration and practice-based learning shape the preparation of social work professionals for service to society on national and international levels.
Structured in three parts, the book addresses the programme's innovative educational philosophy, research contributions, and applied practice.
By interconnecting education, research, and practice, the book underscores the importance of multidisciplinary learning, knowledge transfer, and innovation in social work. It reflects and expands on European education and values on a global scale.
The Interplay Between Social Work Education and Practice: Bridging Borders is an essential resource for scholars, educators, and practitioners in social work and provides a model for collaboration in higher education across borders.
