We’ve been working on
📢The Tool-box for e-social work
The second intellectual output of the project has been keeping the partnership excitingly busy. Using the Curriculum to teach e-social work from our first result we have piloted and conducted training workshops with trainers from the social work sector.
The training was focused on a learning by doing experience and integrated the basic principles of online teaching in the social sector. Specifically, this part has been devoted to engage participants in the co-development of a training module on digital tools for social workers.
The participants’ professional background were varied: from occupational therapists, physiotherapist, nurses, neuropsychologist to social workers, expert social workers’ trainers and others.

Feel free to share the Curriculum with your co-workers or your network of social professionals and spread the word! |

Keeping us busy now
Presently, we are working on the final steps of the second intellectual output.
Our goal is to put together the Tool-box for e-social work, specifically the collection of lessons learnt and recommendations to support the transferability of the training programme for Social Work trainers.
We have also begun work on our third intellectual output.

Next on our To do list
The Social Connections partnership has taken the first steps on the creation of the 3rd result: MOOCs for C-VET in digital social work.
Under Virtual Campus LDA guidance, our team will build on materials developed for the toolbox and will elaborate MOOCs for social professionals. Then, we will pilot it with end-users.
This output, while developing a self-consistent product which will be accessible to social care students and professionals after the end of the project, will be the last session of the project-based learning where Social Work Trainers will be involved in practicing the skills learnt in the second intellectual output with a group of pilot students.
