Master MEEF Pratique et Ingénierie de l'Education, du Travail et de l'Action Social (Practice and Engineering of Education, Work and Social Action)

Definition of objectives in a few points:

• In social action and social work, the transition from identifying social problems to finding creative responses necessarily involves an interpretative analysis of society and knowledge of historical, socio-political, socio-economic, institutional and organisational configurations. The contributions of the social sciences and the study of the construction and characteristics of social intervention will contribute to this.
• The master's degree is aimed at professionals, volunteers and students who want to help people in precarious situations in their work. Through theoretical and practical contributions, the course provides an opportunity to reflect on and distance themselves from their practices.
• When it comes to healthcare, reception, care and support are made difficult by multiple vulnerabilities that go beyond the professional, forcing the adoption of an interdisciplinary working method.
• Particular attention is paid to the balance between contributions from academics and researchers in the human and social sciences (anthropology, sociology, geography, psychology, etc.) and contributions from professionals in the field (lawyers, economists, psychologists, etc.).

Analysing, understanding and summarising complex social problems. Analysing and evaluating the responses provided. Taking a global approach, the social worker acts to :

• improving living conditions ;
• developing the capacities of individuals and groups ;
• work with them to prevent or overcome their difficulties;

Social workers make proposals to help develop and implement social policies. Their duties are to :

• welcoming, assessing and guiding people ;
• social support ;
• mediation ;
• social monitoring ;
• expertise ;
• training ;
• managing projects and working with groups ;
• networking.

There is a glaring shortage of managers in these various organisations in the department, so the opening of a master's programme of this kind is a genuine response to social demand. This master's degree will provide the department with experts in social policy and action.
