| Description | Social work is often surrounded by misconceptions and even contradictions. Over the course of history, social work has become an integral part of living in modern society. It is our goal to describe this phenomenon in this paper. We discuss the origin, content, and processes involved in social work in our country over the courses of the past century. At the end we present the results of a research project focused on the support of socially disadvantaged Roma groups by means of educational programmes that help to improve their study, work, and life prospects. |
