 PRESENTATION 

 From May 23st to 25st of 2018 the city of Málaga, southern Spain, we will host the II International Seminar on Social Policies, which has become one of the most important meeting points in the world for researchers, practitioners and policy makers in the field of Social Work. As the last edition, we are very exciting because will have with us the more prestigious academic figures on social work who show us different perspectives on current the social changes and the social responses. In a parallel way, the seminar will be opened to welcome all the proposals of PhD from different universities which allow us to discuss the exchange and sharing of ideas. We want to create a frame of professionals relationships between different young and expertise researchers.  

 This seminar addresses the challenges faced by social policies in an environment of austerity, from a global perspective. Academics from the UC Berkeley and other european universities will address the main challenges which are facing social policies, and the different responses that are being developed in different contexts, with special emphasis on good practices that social work professionals carry out in their professional work.

 In a context of profound social changes, citizens are finding difficulties to find solutions to social problems. In this international seminar, international experts will analyse all the current social changes, trends and challenges. They will focus on how is the welfare state addressing these social challenges and how is the social work discipline adapting to this current age. 

 This workshop has three main objectives: Analyzing the current social changes, and how the welfare system and the social work facing these challenges in the XXI century, discussing more efficient management models and new research methodologies and management.
