A beszélgetést Hubai László elnök moderálta. Az Etikai Kollégium tagjainak a témával kapcsolatos álláspontját a felszólalások sorrendjében ismertetjük.

BAGazs Public Benefit Association has been working for 7 years in a roma settlement in Bag village, Hungary. The study evaluates the impact and milestones of the community development work done so far. In the evaluation process, by using The Most Significant Change method, the interpretation and presentation are primarily based on the participants’ narratives and self-stories. Besides the above, the purpose of the present paper is to provide professional and methodological aid to Hungarian settlement-type and community-focus organisations, as the study seeks to explain the special features (difficulties or/and possibilities) of the community work in segregated Roma settlements.

It is becoming increasingly apparent to NGOs that the measurement of their social impact is not merely a requirement for project reporting but a well-chosen measurement method for the organization’s profile and programs can be an important pillar of communication and even professional work.

The article discusses an experiment that focuses on the experience to approaching impact assessment and evaluation methods. The „Most Significant Change” participatory methodology is based directly on the person’s subjective experience, not guided by a predetermined „external” logic and path of the researcher. The indicators are not closed-ended categories, rather the storytelling they are based on.

How do social workers see their work, their calling? What changes did they go through, and how did they value these? To have an answer, I interviewed 13 social workers of a city in 2006 and in 2016 and 2017.

The interviewees have already changed their workplace and gone through other changes in their life, which they experienced differently. Most of them showed alternations in their attitude toward their work, one-third presented prolonged changes in their internal thinking and personality. They sense and follow changes in their profession, and in the society. Almost all of them think that they have the opportunity to find a new job either up to their circumstances or their personal qualities.

The outcome of this research can contribute to the general opinion about social workers’ career path, about which information is usually gathered during their studies.
