ResumoA ampliação dos debates na academia em torno do conceito de inovação social mostra que os construtos associados a esse tema ainda estão em discussão, apesar dos esforços e avanços demonstrados nos discursos em torno das suas características. O pressuposto neste ensaio teórico é que a inovação social é um conceito que vai além da tecnologia social, porque esta última se comporta como ferramenta com potencial para que a inovação social aconteça. A proposta com este artigo ganha importância uma vez que a tecnologia social é um termo utilizado no Brasil para também definir iniciativas de inovação social, mas que não tem sido encontrado em referências internacionais, daí a inquietação dos pesquisadores em investigar o tema. Os resultados apontam que as temáticas se sobrepõem em diversos pontos, porém se entende que a inovação social tem o propósito de ampliar o escopo das tecnologias sociais adotadas pelas comunidades, quando proporcionam empoderamento aos atores envolvidos no processo de governança, concedendo-lhes, também, ganhos com vistas à transformação social.Palavras-chave: Inovação social. Tecnologia social. Transformação social. Social innovation beyond social technology: constructs under discussion AbstractThe expansion of the discussions in academy around the concept of Social Innovation (SI) shows that the constructs associated with this issue are still under discussion, despite the efforts and progress demonstrated in speeches around their features. The assumption of this theoretical essay is that the SI is a concept that goes beyond the Social Technology (ST), that behaves as a potential tool for that SI happens. The purpose of this paper gains importance as the Social Technology is a term used in Brazil to define Social Innovation initiatives, but has not been found in international references, hence the concern of researchers to investigate the issue. The results indicate that the themes overlap at various issues, but it is understood that social innovation is intended to enlarge the scope of social technologies adopted by the communities, when they provide empowerment to the actors involved in the governance process, granting them also gains to social transformation.Keywords: Social innovation.

The Moment

Relationships among visual signs, society and memory reveal the dominant cultural order in a given context as well as the causes that maintain it (influence and imposition) and the effects on the population where it occurs (alienation and cultural resilience). Therefore, it is possible to identify deeper social processes with a purely visual and symbolic reading. Visual signs (two-dimensional), in addition to configuring the way space is understood (three-dimensional), reflect social and political dynamics (the time factor). To have a more complete vision of the moment and context, it is necessary to interrelate art with sociology and history. In the specific case of al-Andalus, there is a turning point at which there are changes in visuality that are mainly reflected in writing (Arabic and Latin), the use of symbols (the Mudejar, the cross) and the organization of the spaces designated for art (temples, museums, exhibition halls); hence, these changes function as visual indexes of social dynamics that reach to the present day. The visual supports the social and vice versa, configuring and maintaining a certain worldview. If there is visual continuity, there is continuity in the social sphere.

The coronavirus pandemic affects the whole world. This situation is a very challenging time for all humanity and social services no less. The present article explores how care and different forms of support can or should be offered to young people in the post-COVID-19 youth work. The objective of this paper is to reflect on how social work practitioners can adapt their daily clinical practice by focusing their interventions on the social pedagogical dimensions of social work. The article presents a generalised discussion of practice logics in social work and social pedagogy. Because of the meanings derived from knowledge on the importance of relationships between the helper and the help receiver, social practices in the post-COVID-19 world need to consider social pedagogical expertise in social work practice and the development of preventive assistance for young populations. This effort has been prepared as a part of the project “Social Professionals for Youth Education in the context of European Solidarity".

Disability Research

During the last few decades, the concepts of participation and belonging has frequently been used within the social welfare field in general, and within the field of disability research specifically. Additionally, in Scandinavia the concept of participation has become increasingly used in social work and social pedagogy programmes at universities. However, there’s rather little known about how participation can be understood and related to social pedagogy, since the concept has a broad range of meanings, e.g. a sense of belonging. This paper aims to identify and discuss understandings of participation and belonging with relevance for social work and social pedagogy. Empirical illustrations have been gathered with ethnographical methods and analysed in accordance with an interpretive tradition. It is argued that the concept of participation can be attributed to different meanings in different ideological, theoretical, and institutional practice contexts (e.g. schools that offer special needs programmes, the transition to working life, online social networking). Consequently, it’s a challenge to provide adequate definitions of the concept. The inference drawn is that the aspect of belonging as it relates to social participation can be attributed to its particular importance for social pedagogy. An implication for professional practice is the need to pay attention to alternative identifications that are not based on notions of a stable, constant sense of belonging to a categorical group.

The article presents the experience of the Territorial Reconciliation Service of the Kemerovo Region in the development and testing of algorithms for mediation resolution of complex school and family situations of minors based on the principles of the restorative approach. For restorative work with multi-level conflicts in the escalation stage in educational organizations, as well as difficult life situations of minors and their families, registered in the juvenile affairs departments, special social technologies have been developed that have a comprehensive design and include various restorative programmes (restorative mediation, community circle, school-parent council, family group conference, family mediation). An analysis of the results of pilot empirical testing of the technologies developed by the authors shows their effectiveness in relation to complex school and family conflict situations. If there is special training in restorative technologies and an organizational structure uniting trained restorative practitioners (Territorial Reconciliation Service), these algorithms can be applied by specialists in the social sphere, education system, juvenile delinquency prevention and neglect system

Introduction. The features of social innovations classification are investigated. It allows them to be identified among the whole set of innovations in the social sphere of public systems. The approach is based on the differentiation between the main features that are characteristic for the given type of innovation. Purpose. The article aims to define the peculiarities of social innovations classification from a viewpoint of sustainable development for social and economic systems of different levels. Results. The main features of social innovations classification in terms of sustainable development have been described. The differentiation of social innovations into "deterministic" and "veritable" considering the basic peculiarities of social and economic systems development has been suggested. It has been specified that deterministic social innovations relating to innovation-oriented social and economic systems arise as the positive externals in the result of introducing technical, technological, economic, environmental and other innovations, thus, “veritable” social innovations are generated exceptionally for public development. The generation of such types of social innovation is characterized by the prospect of economic potential of the social and economic system.

The Social

This article analyses the context of social work and social pedagogy in Estonia. It also introduces the differences, commonalities and overlap of the two concepts and their teaching. Courses in both disciplines are taught at Tallinn University in the School of Governance, Law and Society. At Tallinn University social work has been taught at three levels (BA, MA and PhD) since 1991; the Master’s in Social Pedagogy and Child Protection started in 2002. As the term ‘social’ encompasses several meanings, it also influences the practice in the social field – an overlap here can be considered to be a positive aspect, because the aim of both social work and social pedagogy is a better life. In Estonia social pedagogy is connected with social work through child protection. This article first presents a short overview of the situation in Estonia. It then introduces the main principles and theoretical backgrounds of the concepts and the education of social work and social pedagogy.

Citizenship Skills

It is explained how an understanding of information literacy programs should evolve to empower people and communities. These programmes, it is suggested, would serve as training in those types of social technologies that enhance the capability of self-organization, social and democratic influence, alternative systems of consumption and services, and so on. Keeping in mind the social and technological attempts to face situations of scarcity caused by the present European economic crisis, the framework of this approach is in the main documents of the European Union concerning citizenship skills, as well as in social demands on open government (transparency, participation and collaboration). Based on the absence or inadequacy of the issues in the syllabi of most information literacy programmes, guidelines are suggested in order that they may be promoted by library systems and other public networks of socio-educational action, emphasizing learning for social innovation.
