Social Exclusion and Social Work in Europe - Facilitating Social Inclusion

Europe faces a significant threat to social stability and further integration because of the huge numbers of people who are being excluded from participating in society.

This major European Union funded project has drawn together the experiences of social workers working across the European states and concluded that their special skills have a significant role to play in preventing and counter-acting exclusion.

The project, coordinated by the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW), revolved around a series of seminars where social workers shared and discussed their experiences of working with marginalised people.

This project dates from 1997, for the newest IFSW Europe document on the theme, please go to
