Abstract
Social Geo-Design: How much do we innovate in social work? The Traveling Center for the Recovery of Children with Disabilities – Case Study
THEME 4: Social Work Education, Transdisciplinarity and Curriculum Development
SUB 4.1 Preparing future social workers for roles in in nontraditional social work environments.
Oral Presentation
Social work has diversified in an interdisciplinary manner and has transformed from a mere alley to a highway with lanes full of ideas. So we ask: How much do we need to innovate in social work to meet the biggest challenges and improve the quality of life for individuals?
The Danube Delta is a natural reserve in Romania that presents geographical particularities regarding its inhabitants. Children with disabilities are not only born in the city, but also in hard-to-reach areas such as the Delta, which has the Danube as its network of streets and thousands of other canals. A NGO analyzed this situation of the marginalized population and proposed the creation of an Itinerant Center for the Rehabilitation of Children with Disabilities, which is a floating pontoon transformed into a social service. This can be the birth of Social Geo-Design.
It aims to provide assessment and information activities, habilitation/rehabilitation, play therapy, psychological counseling, socialization activities, development of independent living skills.
The social services offered are provided free of charge to children with disabilities from Tulcea County, especially from the Danube Delta, that are in risk of family separation, as well as to their parents or legal representatives, aiming to involve them in the recovery process and ensure progress through continued therapy.
The Geo-Social model involves interventions to reduce the risks caused by the environment on the local population, but more than that, Social Geo-Design involves emphasizing the social component, namely the person and the social problems they have, such as a disability, living in a geographical area with a particular peculiarity. Social Geo-Design balances the design of a social service, such as the creation of a mobile floating day care center for children with disabilities living in the Danube Delta.
