Applying knowledge and understanding: acquisition of skills for evaluating a social service and the social work;
Making judgements: promotion of a reflective, analytical, logical, planning attitude, available to team work in the design and evaluation activities;
Communication skills: experimenting and presenting of a monitoring and evaluation activity for a social intervention;
