Serviço Social e Direitos Humanos A formação dos Assistentes Sociais na defesa e realização dos Direitos Humanos na intervenção social

Abstract

Social Work and Human Rights - "The training of Social Workers to defend and realize Human Rights in social intervention” The Global Agenda for Social Work organized a World Congress that took place in June 2022, with the theme "Co-Buildin a New Eco-Social World. Leaving no one Behind!". The goal and purpose of this summit is to create a Global Values Declaration. Faced with this challenge, this text aims to present some pillars of a formative proposal for Social Workers in Portugal as human rights professionals. We put here a set of considerations and proposals on the formation of Social Workers as human rights professionals structured in three parts: Social Work and Human Rights, guiding ethical principles, some theoretical references, methodological strategies such as political and pedagogical challenges, and considerations about Social Work and the next steps to action.
