In the second digital workshop we will continue to bring together social workers and participants from NGOs and the public sector from Bulgaria and Germany to deepen cooperation and learn more about each other. With the joint efforts of all participants, we will explore questions such as: what do we mean when we talk about successful social counselling? How can we support clients to make informed choices and support them in developing their prospective? How do we address conflicting interests between the institutional/social/ structural framework and the decisions of our clients? What methods are available and how can we use them in everyday practice? What are good practices examples we want to share?
The information in the workshop and the networking opportunity can be useful for the work of those of you who support mobile persons who seek counselling in and from Bulgaria.
