1. Care for vulnerable citizens.

How far does the responsibility of society and social workers go towards fostering self-reliability, breaking through loneliness barriers, getting people out of their isolation and bringing people back into the labour market, and how does one accomplish this? What do you do if people themselves neither believe in it nor ask for it?

2. Safety and liveability in vulnerable neighbourhoods.

When do you intervene if a neighbourhood becomes impoverished, if there are opposing groups, when apartments deteriorate, when neighbours make each other�s lives hell? Can you evict people, remove them from the neighbourhood, forbid certain youth to attend school together?

3. Working within a restricted framework.

Sometimes people are helped against their will, for example when they are rounded up or arrested, committed to a youth centre, institutionalised by court mandate or forcibly admitted to psychiatric facilities. How can you intervene efficiently and soundly as a social professional in such cases?
