The aim of the course is to provide students with the theoretical framework and conceptual tools necessary to operate competently in the planning processes of local social services, in particular by using a strategic perspective based on go-vernance and participation.
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
- Knowledge and understanding:
to analyze and competently describe the ways in which social planning pro-cesses are carried out in the territories, identifying in them the characteristics of the different models;
- Applying knowledge and understanding:
formulate proposals for the definition and implementation of the tools and processes that characterize social planning
- Making judgements:
-assess the appropriateness and quality of the programming processes ana-lyzed;
-propose appropriate actions to support social planning processes being acti-vated or in progress;
- Communication skills:
formulate with appropriate terminology and concepts proposals or assess-ments concerning the theoretical and operational foundations of social plan-ning.
- In terms of learning ability:
- to carry out in-depth studies on the topics dealt with, drawing appropriately on the field of studies and research in the sector.

materiale didattico
The course is divided into three parts.
The first describes and discusses the concepts and tools that define the field of social programming. In particular, the following topics are covered: the principles and models of social programming; the peculiarities of social programming in local welfare; the concepts and practices of governance and participation; programming in a framework of outsourcing of services.
The second part illustrates the logics that govern the outsourcing of services and the procedures with which outsourcing is carried out. In particular, the following topics are covered: the distinction between management and production of social services; the main tools for outsourcing (contracting out and cash for care); the procedures for assignment through the most economically advantageous offer; the possibility of using the agreement with OdV.
The third part presents the cornerstones of social programming and management of services in the perspective of "shared administration", the scenario introduced by the reform of the Third Sector and on which the development of local systems of social interventions and services is now oriented.

At the end of the course, students will be able to: competently analyze and describe the ways in which social programming processes are implemented in the territories, identifying the characteristics of the different models; formulate proposals for the definition and implementation of the tools and processes that characterize social programming; evaluate the appropriateness and quality of the programming processes analyzed; propose actions suitable for supporting social programming processes in the process of being activated or in progress; formulate proposals or evaluations relating to the theoretical and operational foundations of social programming with appropriate terminology and concepts.The course is divided into three parts.
