本課程為論述與實作並重課程，透過講授、講座、工作坊和實作方案設計等途徑，帶領修課學生理解國際援助與發展之核心價值、歷史脈絡、工作方法與服務實踐。1970 年代是國際援助工作發展重要的十年，這十年，標示著許多服務轉型，包括工作策略轉向為以社區為主體的計畫模式、從短期的經濟援助轉變為長期的發展自立方案。同時，援助的取向也漸漸考量在地社會條件、文化脈絡，多面向的工作方法和追求總體生活滿意度提升的工作目標也成為非政府組織的遠景。2000年代更著眼於消弭貧窮、權利平等、健康福祉、環境永續等促進全球共榮發展的SDGs目標。這些變化，使得國際援助與發展朝向實踐行動與倡議發聲並行的工作場域。社會工作者涉足這個跨國、跨區域、跨領域、跨文化的服務場域，除了面向實踐現場的社會現象和服務設計外，異地工作生活也再一次刺激工作者回望自身。因此，這堂課除了傳遞國際社會工作的形貌外，更著眼於參與者的實踐反思，透過課程設計累積跨文化工作者的思想與內涵。

This course is a course that emphasizes both exposition and practice. Through lectures, lectures, workshops, and implementation plan design, it leads students to understand the core values, historical context, work methods, and service practices of international aid and development. The 1970s was an important decade for the development of international aid work. This decade marked many service transformations, including a shift in work strategies to a community-based programming model and a shift from short-term financial assistance to long-term development self-reliance programs. At the same time, the orientation of assistance has gradually taken into account local social conditions and cultural context. Multi-faceted working methods and the pursuit of improving overall life satisfaction have also become the vision of NGOs. In the 2000s, we focused more on the SDGs goals of poverty eradication, equal rights, health and well-being, and environmental sustainability to promote global co-prosperity and development. These changes have moved international aid and development toward a workplace where practical actions and advocacy go hand in hand. Social workers are involved in this transnational, cross-regional, cross-field, and cross-cultural service field. In addition to facing social phenomena and service design at the practice site, working and living in different places once again stimulates workers to look back on themselves. Therefore, in addition to conveying the appearance of international social work, this class also focuses on participants’ practical reflections and accumulates the thoughts and connotations of cross-cultural workers through course design.

國際社會工作涵蓋了國際援助（International Aid）和國際發展（International Development）。這個領域源自於二次大戰後，冷戰時期地緣政治間的權力傾軋，強權透過各種形式的援助計劃爭取政治支持。其中，國際非政府組織（International Non-governmental Organization, NGOs）亦成為援助與發展計畫的執行機構，服務內容大至國家層級、小至地方村落；服務類型擴及基礎建設、農工業發展、公共衛生、教育學習、社會服務、醫療健康等關乎一個人生存所需之各項政策、制度或資源。因此，本課程囊括地域、專業、文化間的協作，著重跨國、跨領域、多重知識系統之理解訓練，期待社會工作者具備冷眼熱心之視野貼近跨文化工作場域，洞悉在地社會情境和需求，發展符合在地文化與知識體系之工作內涵。

International social work covers international aid (International Aid) and international development (International Development). This field originated from the geopolitical power struggle during the Cold War after World War II. Powers used various forms of aid programs to gain political support. Among them, International Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) have also become the execution agencies of aid and development plans, with services ranging from the national level to local villages; service types have expanded to include infrastructure, agricultural and industrial development, public health, education and learning, social services, medical health and other policies, systems or resources that are related to a person's survival. Therefore, this course includes collaboration between regions, majors, and cultures, and focuses on training in the understanding of transnational, cross-field, and multiple knowledge systems. It is expected that social workers will have a cold-eyed and enthusiastic perspective to approach the cross-cultural work field, gain insight into local social situations and needs, and develop work connotations that are consistent with local culture and knowledge systems.
