Social Work and participation in diversity: context, exercise and attitude.

Abstract

We are used to working with excluded populations. Excluded from the decision making process, in a structural way. Therefore, as part of the profesional collective, some of us have been critical of the social processes in which political discourses did not correlate to the reality of the individuals who they were aimed at; the historical delegations and representations of power in the hands of some people only. Hence, it is a process of profesional formation and exercise linked to particular contexts. What I state very insistently is the necessity of visualizing ourselves as relevant actors of this political and ethical stage which we are on.
