Glossary on Good Practices in the Field of Social Work
(2023)- Abstract (Swedish)
- The Glossary on good practices in the field of social work and human mobility is the result
of the Global-ANSWER Network’s search for consensus on the conceptualisation and methodo-
logy of social interventions with migrants and applicants for international protection. The aim is
to bring together the key concepts around which this research project revolves, supported by
the interdisciplinary and international nature of the Global-ANSWER network. We want to speak
a common language about one of the most relevant phenomena taking place today: the large
movements of people fleeing their countries of origin for reasons such as war, persecution, lack
of democracy in their political systems, famine, adverse climate... (More) - The Glossary on good practices in the field of social work and human mobility is the result
of the Global-ANSWER Network’s search for consensus on the conceptualisation and methodo-
logy of social interventions with migrants and applicants for international protection. The aim is
to bring together the key concepts around which this research project revolves, supported by
the interdisciplinary and international nature of the Global-ANSWER network. We want to speak
a common language about one of the most relevant phenomena taking place today: the large
movements of people fleeing their countries of origin for reasons such as war, persecution, lack
of democracy in their political systems, famine, adverse climate change or in search of better
life opportunities. Population movements towards developed countries with stable democratic
systems, with the intention of settling in their welfare societies. The social support of states
becomes an indispensable factor in their active citizenship. This is a challenge for social work
and we are interested in how professional intervention guarantees the social rights of migrants
and applicants for international protection, with professional practices that intervene in initial
reception and social and community integration, sometimes in the face of restrictive and ex-
clusionary policies.
We are also interested in how these practices promote the social inclusion of migrants and peo-
ple seeking international protection, with social intervention as the main objective towards an
inclusive citizenship.
The glossary is based on a collective and concrete definition of good practice developed by the
Global-ANSWER Network and published in the “Guide to Conceptual and Methodological Issues
in Social Work Research in the Field of Human Mobility”. More than sixty researchers from the
Network have contributed to the creation of the terms in this glossary, which does not claim to
be exhaustive, but rather the terms on good practice in social work and human mobility point to
an ad hoc definition for this research.
We hope that the guide will be a useful document and that it will contribute to a better unders-
tanding of reception processes related to migration. We also hope that it will contribute to a
better visibility of the links between policy, professional practice, research and training. (Less)
