Collaboration, Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Social Work HGW605
Hobart, Launceston
Introduction
This unit extends understanding of what it means to initiate responses to social problems, take responsibility for enacting and leading these responses, and being a part of ventures that do the same. Collaborative and collective social work leadership approaches and skills are taught to equip you with knowledge and skills about how you can leverage solidarity, cooperation and consensus to address injustices. The unit builds on these ideas by exploring social entrepreneurship and innovation in social work. You will be encouraged to think of yourself in the roles of social intra- and entrepreneurs and you will be taught a range of practical skills to support creative collaborative and participative change projects. You can expect to engage in processes of self and collective critical reflection, mutual enquiry, group discussions, role plays and dialogical learning as they explore practices of innovation and collaborative leadership in the 21st century.
