Patterns and dilemmas in community work – reflections of social workers

During the seminar we will discuss reflections of four social workers from the project of community work in the Moravian-Silesian Region, Růžena Dunková, Irena Štulíková, Tomáš Vaněk and Jakub Neubauer. They will introduce us the dilemmas which they identify in their community work. We will discuss the criteria and the way of decision- making of community workers in the dilemmatic situations.
