To develop the said competencies, it seems very important not only to systemically order the knowledge coming from different scientific disciplines, but also that professionals conducting practical activities should internalize and structure the knowledge they convey. In general, the article discusses the role of university as a space for training professional competencies and also analyzes the competencies in the field of social and educational work with families and senior citizens.
