Fare lavoro ecosociale di comunità

[Machine translation] The chapter explores the community dimension of ecosocial work, analyzing how collective practices respond to social and ecological challenges. , The research questions aim to investigate the ways in which local communities are involved in ecosocial practices, as well as the conditions that guarantee their development and continuity over time. In addition, they intend to explore which social service perspective guides professional action. The analysis, guided by the ethical-political and theoretical-methodological dimensions of community social service, highlights four tensions that cross community ecosocial practices: 1) individual responsibility/collective co-responsibility, 2) casual/lasting practices, 3) reparative/transformative orientation and 4) top-down processes/co-creation from below. , The results indicate that professionals, together with other actors present in the territories, are experimenting with forms that are still partial, but promising, of ecosocial community work. Even in the absence of consolidated models, in fact, these experiences highlight the transformative potential of an approach that integrates social and ecological justice and that requires intersectoral alliances, authentic participation and negotiation processes capable of supporting new configurations of territorial governance. The results also suggest the need to strengthen the relationship between the academy, profession and citizens, so as to consolidate practices capable of dealing with ecosocial crises and promoting transformative processes oriented towards co-responsibility and ecosocial justice.
