THE FAMILY ON THE MOVE ACROSS EUROPE - A RESOURCE FOR PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS
Heightened vulnerabilities are associated with the increased movement of children and families across Europe, and there are many complex challenges for professionals and NGOs in supporting these families from diverse cultural backgrounds with a variety of needs.
This e-learning module has been designed to support professionals and students to have a deeper understanding about the challenging policy and practical environments in which social workers and NGO staff operate.
This self-paced English course is interactive, and it gives the opportunity to follow Ali and his family during their journey from Syria across Europe via the map, to hear the voices of the family members, and to reflect on their needs and experiences.
There are tasks to do along the way and links to research, information and policy, suggested relevant theory, practice and etchical issues for consideration and reflection, overall the e-learning package highlights key areas for deliberation, which may also be pertinent to different situations, individuals and countries.
