What we hope to do
today
To talk about a filmmaking project we introduced in
a Year1 UG SWK Community Project module
To outline briefly –
Context and thinking
Aims of the project
Process – what we did and why
Product – what was produced
Evaluation
Use film as main introduction but live questions
Space for you to think about this in relation to your
students – could it work for you?
4.
Growing discourse about use and abuse of welfare
and pathologising of individuals / groups
Encourage reflection on the ‘normal life of
communities’ – strengths as well as issues/problems
Policy context – towards community engagement,
citizenship & participation
Learning critical theories and counter discourses
which actively engage students with co-production
Beyond the census – creative and meaningful
engagement with a social issue
Context for the project
5.
What students were
asked to do
Web based inquiry - demographic information about
the community population & national and local
policy contexts
Choose a particular user group/ issue and
investigating how the community has responded to
their needs and wellbeing by making direct contact
with relevant services, interviewing relevant staff
and members of the public
Consider what critical theory could offer in helping
frame issues and responses – Habermas, Bourdiou
and Foucault
6.
Identify a local campaign and analyse the issues and
evidence in relation to the policy and theoretical
frameworks available to make an evaluation of the
methods used and effectiveness in achieving its aims
-Use film making as a basis for enquiry and group
work (did some other things too but this is our focus
today…)
8. To explore the concepts of ‘community’ and theoretical contexts
for practice
Partnership and participation through examination of social policy
and the institutions and structures that support service users and
carers at a local level.
Direct skills through active enquiry, synthesis and evaluation of
information about the socio-economic and political realities in their
local community including direct contact with the public and
organisations providing support.
Different disciplines contributing to knowledge and analysis of
structures in their own communities with a clear focus on its
strengths and potential for active community engagement.
To encourage students to be creative in their approach to
communication by using arts based methods to communicate an
issue important to social work.
