The Territory of Unity programme update

The next seminar of the programme took place on the 14-15 November. This time our colleagues from the Moscow-based schools spoke about professional communication with children, i.e. how to ask questions in a right way and how to answer to the wrong questions. Topics of the personal positions in social work, professional values and motivation of clients have also been raised. How to motivate people and what is detrimental for it featured highly on the agenda. The experience of such charities as Semya from Moscow and the Road home from Cherepovets have been discussed as examples of already realised programmes.
The next meeting will be devoted to planning case work: how to set up objectives for your work with the family in question, how to share responsibilities with the family, how to make sure you suggest the correct services and other.
