Abstract
Boetto’s Transformative Eco-Social Model for Social Work as a way to address Ecological Social Work and Environmental Citizenship in South Africa
THEME 4: Quality management and enhancement of social services
SUB 4.3 Capacity building in new fields of social service such as environmental justice, climate change, green / eco-social work, inter- and trans-disciplinary interventions
Oral Presentation
The role and responsibilities of social workers over the years had to adjust according to the specific needs and challenges, which at the time presented themselves and required the social work profession to adjust. It is believed that the social work profession once again is at a crossroad where a possible paradigm shift is needed if it not only wants to match the rapid changes of the 21st century, but also wants to stay relevant in its service delivery to communities and vulnerable populations. Boetto’s “Transformative Eco-Social Model for Social Work” is proposed as the way forward as the characteristics of this model address aspects such as ecological literacy and justice, indigenous perspectives, eco-feminism and criticality, the incorporating of global perspectives, a focus on sustainability and de-growth, and rethinking the concept of wellbeing.
