Planning in community participatory social intervention

Abstract

The intervention at the community level is presented as one of the main scenarios in which Social Work develops its work based on the existing needs in a specific space. There are three epistemological perspectives (objectivism, subjectivism and constructivism) that justify different ways of seeing reality and professional intervention in the community. Starting from the critical-emancipatory paradigm and from a constructivist epistemological perspective, the Participatory Social Intervention model focuses on promoting the participatory action of all social actors and community development from a dynamic, evolutive and analytical ontological vision based on critical realism. Model that develops without phases concatenated in time, since they are produced in the form of juxtaposition, in a continuous process of reflection-action-reflection. The document analyzes what is related to development in terms of planning in the model of participatory social intervention that must be coordinated by the social worker.
