Collaborations

Training, supervision, writing and more

Collaborating means making what you know and can do available to others.

Over the years, I have worked with social and health services, universities, public institutions, professionals and third-sector organisations, focusing on training, service organisation, professional supervision and professional writing.

These are different activities, but they share a common goal: finding practical tools to address the complexity of social work.

Training and Teaching

Since 2000, I have been involved in training in the field of social and health services.

I have delivered more than 1,500 hours of teaching for social and healthcare support workers, social workers and other professionals, collaborating with universities, healthcare organisations, training institutions and professional bodies.

Over the years, I have promoted numerous initiatives focused on writing, including dedicated workshops, as a professional, educational and expressive tool.

I was an adjunct professor at the University of Siena, where I taught Social Service Organisation in the Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work.

From 2017 to 2020, I was an external member of the Foundation of Social Workers of Tuscany, contributing to the development and organisation of the first two editions of the Social Work Writing Competition.

Since 2023, I have provided professional supervision to social workers involved in various local projects promoted by UPEL and the Umbrian School of Public AdministrationSupervision is not about finding answers for others. Sometimes, it is about asking better questions.

Altra scrittura

Altre esperienze

Sono socio, dal 2018, di A.S.PRO.C., Assistenti Sociali per la Protezione Civile, una delle espressioni più preziose dell’essere Assistente Sociale, e ho all’attivo varie missioni in scenari emergenziali.

Dal 2025 partecipo, con l’Università di Firenze, l’AOU Meyer e l’Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo (AICS), a un progetto di cooperazione internazionale in Libano. Nell’ambito di questa attività ho partecipato a Beirut a workshop rivolti a professionisti e rappresentanti dei Ministeri degli Affari Sociali, della Salute e dell’Istruzione, contribuendo al confronto per la definizione di un modello integrato di presa in carico delle persone con disabilità e favorendo il dialogo tra istituzioni, servizi e operatori.
