ESR8: Mattia Mansueto

I obtained my master’s degree in Innovation and research for social work at University of Bolzano (Italy) in 2020 and my bachelor’s degree in social work at University of Torino (Italy) in 2016. I completed 3-month pre master graduation traineeship and 4 month post-graduation in the Early Language and Learning Lab at DCU-Dublin City University. During my bachelor academic studies, I experience to study two semesters in Tübingen (Germany) and one semester in Ghent (Belgium), and I did a two-month internship in Berlin (Germany) in 2015.

My research project in ASTRA focuses on Sustainable housing solutions for SW practices for social inclusion of young people in precariousness (Project Title). The aim is to link the eco-social approach to current SW practices with homelessness and housing exclusion, to deepen the theoretical understanding of the interlinkage between the strategies to combat housing exclusion and TSTR, to analyse sustainable solutions to housing exclusion in Europe.
