    Educational materials on citizenship from an occupational perspective
    (Universidade da Coruña, Servizo de Publicacións, 2021) Fransen-Jaïbi, Hetty; Kantartzis, Sarah; Pollard, Nick; Viana-Moldes, Inés; Viana-Moldes, Inés; Pollard, Nick; Kantartzis, Sarah; Fransen-Jaïbi, Hetty
    This booklet presents educational materials for teachers or educators and students of occupational therapy in higher education programmes. The materials can also be applied in interprofessional programmes, to enable an occupation-based approach to citizenship to be negotiated in the inter-curricula context. In addition, they will be useful for the continuing professional development of people working in health and social fields and in community development programmes. The general aim is to facilitate and highlight addressing issues of citizenship in the contemporary education of occupational therapists. The purpose is to bring the co-creation of knowledge, skills and values of participatory citizenship together with strategic political, cultural and critical thinking into education, particularly at the Diploma/Bachelor or pre-registration levels. The booklet is written in three sections, which present: Section 1: An introduction to the concept of citizenship and particularly of participatory citizenship (Chapter 2). Section 2: A discussion of competences and learning outcomes, as well as of the theoretical approaches that underpin these educational materials (Chapters 3 and 4). Section 3: A range of educational materials, enabling flexible, contextualised, approaches, for the exploration, understanding and development of knowledge regarding participatory citizenship (Chapter 5).

    Participatory citizenship: Critical perspectives on client-centred occupational therapy
    (Informa Healthcare, 2015-05-04) Fransen-Jabi, Hetty; Pollard, Nick; Kantartzis, Sarah; Viana-Moldes, Inés
    Background/aims: This article aims to discuss client-centred practice, the current dominant approach within occupational therapy, in relation to participatory citizenship. Occupational therapists work within structures and policies that set boundaries on their engagement with clients, while working with complex, multidimensional social realities. Methods: The authors present a critical discussion shaped by their research, including a survey, discussions at workshops at international conferences, and critical engagement with the literature on occupational therapy, occupation, and citizenship. Conclusion: A focus on citizenship suggests reframing professional development based on the participation in public life of people as citizens of their society. While occupational therapists often refer to clients in the context of communities, groups, families, and wider society, the term clientcentred practice typically represents a particular view of the individual and may sometimes be too limited in application for a more systemic and societal approach. Significance: The authors question the individual focus which has, until recently, been typical of client-centred occupational therapy. Placing citizenship at the core of intervention is a transformative process that assumes all people are citizens and conceives of health as a collective issue, influencing the way we educate, do research, and practise.
