Long-term work in the state administration and later in various positions of local and regional self-government has given me enough experience in applying the law when working with civil society. I used my practical experience in developing several projects that focused on different target groups. Gradually, I began to focus on social services provided to segregated communities with concentrated poverty. The legality of the activities of social workers requires that they be able to orientate themselves in the area of legal norms and apply them in practice. This has become the goal of my pedagogical focus, which I am trying to attract students to, and at the same time I guarantee social work clients that all their rights offered by the current legal system will be guaranteed.
