            The discipline is aimed to attract students to professional activities in social work. In the process of learning, they participate in charitable events and are involved in various forms of volunteering. Volunteering allows students to take their first steps in the profession, try their hand at working with different categories of clients and in different types of volunteering.
By participating in various forms of assistance, students learn the main types of requests that can be covered by non-professional social work. At the end of the course, students independently develop a project of a charity event aimed at solving a problem or request of the client category and implement it on a voluntary basis.
