It also requires the ability to govern a complex network of relationships that involve a plurality of persons (child, family of origin, foster family, operators, services, family associations) each of which is the carrier of culture, standards, distinctive objectives and resources.The intention of the route is to take what was developed during the basic course to family foster care level.INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT METHODOLOGYThe route has the objective of offering students a suitable methodology for tackling, in the logic of the social action project with strategic orientation, both the serious community problems of our time and the prevention challenge.III.
