Aportaciones del Programa Marco de Investigación Europea al Análisis del Trabajo Social

Abstract

This article identifies two key competencies that social workers need, according to research conducted by the international scientific community: the capacity to find and analyse successful actions in the social environment and the capacity to develop dialogic communicative acts to recreate such successful actions in different contexts. The article also informs how research conducted by the international scientific community demonstrates that cultural groups are increasingly rejecting the act of being researched and how they are demanding participation in the research to have their voices recognized as having scientific value in order to collaborate in the social policies the citizens require to overcome social exclusion.
