What strategies can social workers use to address the impact of globalization on their practice?

Cultural competence for social workers should also include an understanding of the whole person development from a cultural perspective. Well-being can be defined and evaluated in many ways. Understanding this aspect will then align values, beliefs and behaviors towards prosocial outcomes. If not, the needs of the people may not be fully understood.

Promoting community participation and empowerment is vital in alleviating the adverse impacts of globalization on marginalized communities. Social workers can facilitate grassroots initiatives led by communities themselves, tackling issues like poverty, inequality, and social exclusion. Cross-cultural collaboration involves social workers forming partnerships and alliances with professionals and organizations across diverse countries and cultures. Amidst the heightened interconnectedness brought about by globalization, societies have become more susceptible to crises and disasters. Social workers are pivotal in offering support and interventions during such challenging times, including natural disasters, pandemics, or political unrest.

Lo importante es estudiar cada cultura organizacional, sea familias, organizaciones sean públicas, privadas o ONG. Analizar e investigar , y tomar sugerencias y soluciones independientemente de la competencia.

To understand and respect different cultural dynamics, given the diverse human experience, is a determining factor for those involved in a social impact intervention. In this sense, it is important for professionals to seek knowledge in the field of anthropology, which contributes to the interpretation of cultural diversity, recognizing and valuing differences. Anthropological knowledge aids in understanding beliefs and values, dismantling prejudices and stereotypes, and developing skills that facilitate multicultural dialogue.

It is crucial to incorporate the ability and capacity for systems thinking and analysis. Especially in jobs that DEMAND us to understand the causal relations between social, environmental, political, economical phenomena. Once we develop habits and ways of analizing our realities and go past "symptoms" to the underlying structures of a problem, we start understanding more clearly what needs to be done to change those structures. Peter Senge and his books should be mandatory since high school to develop this way of seeing and understanding the world.

Social workers can assist the most vulnerable groups by intervening ethically so that people in situations of social vulnerability can access their rights and have decent living conditions. These professionals also contribute to the development of communities, encouraging mobilization and participation, as well as promoting partnerships with social actors committed to working on issues that perpetuate social injustice.

Inclusive social dialogues and representation are key to creating evidence-based transition mechanisms to learn from the communities and to build from their experiences to tackle climate change in fair, equitable and inclusive ways

Los trabajadores sociales complementan funciones de los psicólogos, abogados, licenciados en relaciones del trabaio, antropologos entre otros. Brindar asesoramiento y dar soluciones para que las cuestiones se hagan justicia más allá de las legislaciones vigentes.

I am engaged in rights based advocacy for vulnerable and low skilled labour migrants in Sri Lanka and in the Asian Sub region. We collaborate with other labour sending countries in the ASEAN region. Common threads of advocacy concerns are the restrictions imposed on women to migrate denying their right to mobility and income. Another issue is the lack of scrutiny and ethical standards and laws on the recruitment industry that has led to them charging large recruitment fees and engaging in Human trafficking. There is also the issue of a lack of a binding labour contract and the failure to recognise undocumented workers. We also deal with social and economic reintegration issues that governments have failed to invest in migrant returnees.

Social workers address globalization's impact by enhancing cultural competency, empowering communities, and advocating for equitable policies. They forge partnerships, educate on rights and services, integrate technology, and provide trauma-informed care. Environmental advocacy and collaborative initiatives help mitigate global challenges. Through these strategies, social workers uphold social justice and well-being in an interconnected world.

Todo profesional independientemente del área que trabaje, necesita herramientas tecnológicas o alguna formación complementaria en el área IT. El contexto global da necesidad que en el rubro informático cada vez soliciten más personas que complementaron con alguna carrera social.

The use of new digital and social technologies can contribute to solving problems and improving outcomes for users and beneficiaries. Digital technologies can enhance experiences with intuitive tools and intelligent use of data. Social technologies contribute to the design of human-centered solutions based on participation and collaboration.

In the field of labour migration, HIV and tuberculosis and micro and small industries that I work in we feel our governments have not sufficiently invested in data management. The subnational governments and their administrations and institutions lack data support on these subjects. And we are already in the information era and the fourth industrial revolution I feel these investments must be given top priority in national budgets where we can also collaborate at the broader geographical landscape in getting data to be a critical strategic force in development planning.

Según mi experiencia la tecnología ha reducido brechas importantes para estar cada día mas cerca organizaciones de la sociedad civil, sus beneficiarios y la comunidad; y es más loable el impacto cuando las causas sociales utilizan la digitalización y la nube para proyectos de economía colaborativa, cooperativimo colaborativo, economía circular o cualquier otro enfoque que busque el beneficio general y equitativo de los actores de una causa social en tu comunidad.

As much as civil society movements and networks are already doing a great job at the local and national level I feel we need qualified thinktanks and institutions and universities to collaborate with regional and global networks in developing frameworks, courses and degree programmes on global subjects in the development sphere. A new era of young people must find interest in global issues and be the qualified force now and for the future.

Es importante estar en constante capacitación, mediante procesos de aprendizajes formales o no formales. Las capacitaciones son herramientas para actualizarse a cada contexto y cuando uno está más capacitado las capacitaciones son más probable de que sean efectivas.

Continuous training, based on the development of competencies, prepares professionals to be more qualified to perform their activities. Professionals in continuous development promote the improvement of services provided, with better outcomes for users and beneficiaries. Learning paths or journeys are examples of training strategies that provide a structured approach and facilitate the learning process.

Precisamos n?o romantizar ou simplificar a aprendizagem autodirigida. é extremamente desafiador fazer sua própria curadoria do que aprender. Para isso, precisamos ter clareza da dire??o do que queremos nos aprofundar mais. Portanto, antes de sair em uma busca incessante por mais cursos, mais certificados, mais livros lidos, que possamos INTENCIONALMENTE fazer nossas escolhas de aprendizagem.

My perspective comes from my work in migration and poverty eradication. The crosscuting issues are women in development and health and wellness for all irrespective of whether we belong to the 1st world or the 3rd world. Humanity is therefore the underlying theme in all we do.

As the world becomes more connected, becoming a global citizen can be a path towards scaling your social impact. Awareness about worldwide solutions to social problems inspires us to act in our local and familiar communities. Leveraging cultural differences and learning from one another is the best path toward a greater impact.

The SDGs are an example of global action that aligns with the principles of social impact intervention, aiming to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, protect the planet and promote peaceful and inclusive societies by 2030. Seeking to align the objectives of social impact intervention with the SDGs is a way to cultivate global citizenship.

One thing I've found helpful in addition to all the other factors is the need to build trust. I'm not sure if it's unconscious or even conscious biases coming out, but I sometimes feel that we need to afford each other more trust. It feels sometimes that our trust levels rise and fall according to the nationalities/backgrounds we're dealing with. If we're better able to trust one another, I think there may be deeper and more authentic sharing on approaches and contexts. Creativity will be appreciated because its source is trustworthy. If we fail to trust, diversity takes a backseat and we don't reap of its rewards.

Es los y las trabajadores sociales estén siempre recapacitado por que el contexto varía cada vez más de forma más acelerada. También reforzar los acompa?amientos en el área laboral.
