He first talked about the concept and the framework, and then explained in detail three models, including the government led and society operated course model; the diversified, professionalized and specialized service model; as well as the constitutionalized and systematized management model. His theoretical conclusion together with the case of Shenzhen’s practice gave the students a chance to have in-depth thinking on social work development model.
Many students actively participated in the Q & A session. A lot of discussions took place on social worker’s position, development path and so on. The discussions hit the spark of thoughts, and drew the curtain of the lecture.
