Social work has always recognized the importance of community development as a key element in intervention and social change. Even so, the neoliberal context currently affecting the reality of most of the countries in the Global North is directly influencing the weakening of community actions and is reinforcing more individualistic positions. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the extent to which neoliberal policies are impacting on the teaching of community development content on social work programs in Spain and to study the impact of this reality on the implementation of community plans and projects in Catalonia. The methodology used was qualitative and was based on a systematic review of institutional documentation, community programs and specialized literature. Likewise, the study plans of the 32 universities currently teaching the social work degree in Spain were carefully reviewed to identify and analyze the subjects that focus their primary content on community development. We highlight the purpose of public and private institutions to maintain and promote community development plans and programs and the need to broaden and promote the community development approach in social work study plans. Finally, we present recommendations on how to promote social intervention and community development as key elements in both the training and practice of the social work profession.

社区发展是西班牙社会工作教育和实践的关键要素

社会工作一直认识到社区发展作为干预和社会变革的关键要素的重要性。即便如此，目前影响全球北方大多数国家现实的新自由主义背景正在直接影响社区行动的削弱，并正在强化更多的个人主义立场。本文的主要目的是分析新自由主义政策对西班牙社会工作项目社区发展内容教学的影响程度，并研究这一现实对加泰罗尼亚社区计划和项目实施的影响。使用的方法是定性的，并基于对机构文件、社区计划和专业文献的系统审查。同样地，对目前在西班牙教授社会工作学位的 32 所大学的学习计划进行了仔细审查，以确定和分析将主要内容集中在社区发展上的科目。我们强调公共和私人机构维持和促进社区发展计划和项目的目的，以及在社会工作研究计划中扩大和促进社区发展方法的必要性。最后，我们就如何促进社会干预和社区发展提出建议，将其作为社会工作专业培训和实践的关键要素。我们强调公共和私人机构维持和促进社区发展计划和项目的目的，以及在社会工作研究计划中扩大和促进社区发展方法的必要性。最后，我们就如何促进社会干预和社区发展提出建议，将其作为社会工作专业培训和实践的关键要素。我们强调公共和私人机构维持和促进社区发展计划和项目的目的，以及在社会工作研究计划中扩大和促进社区发展方法的必要性。最后，我们就如何促进社会干预和社区发展提出建议，将其作为社会工作专业培训和实践的关键要素。
