Social Work Practice in Multicultural Settings: A Pilot Study in Thrace, Greece

This article attempts a preliminary exploration of the evolving dimensions and underlying subtleties of multiculturalism for social work practice in Greece, particularly in the region of Thrace. It is based on a pilot study with a group of social workers, who disclose their experience and attitudes through accounts of practice. The central argument developed is that, although it is important for professionals to be aware of cultural differences, it might also be dangerous to rely too much on the importance of culture without considering structural elements such as poverty and discrimination which lead to social exclusion.
