AB  - Social ecology appears as overcoming the functional inconsistencies of the current development model,
introducing a new perspective of eco-systemic balance among species and between humans and
nature, as well as society systems. This is a theme directly related to Social Work that seeks to ensure
social well-being, intervening in multiple dimensions of human, social and sustainable development.
This presentation aims to analyse the perception of social work master students about social ecology
and the importance of social and ecological sustainability on social work training.
We followed a collaborative learning methodology with a group of Erasmus Social Work master's
students from various Universities (Portugal, Finland, Slovakia, Spain and Lithuania). Based on a
questionnaire given to each student before the group discussion, we assessed the participants'
knowledge on this topic. From here we proceeded to a debate activity that allowed systematizing
contributions to Social Work, as well as discussing the importance of promoting more sustainable
societies and practices.
The results showed that many students had limited knowledge about ecological and social sustainability,
recognizing that this was a relevant topic for Social Work training. Among the aspects that the group
highlighted as essential in the training were: the importance of promoting a more inclusive planet,
combating social inequalities and to ensure environment as fundamental right; and the importance of
promoting sustainable actions that preserve the environment and respond to climate changes.
Additionally, the participants considered that social and ecological sustainability should be part of the
Social Work training programme, considering present and future social intervention.
