The master thesis explores the link between fieldwork and social work. The theoretical section introduces topics such as the history of fieldwork, the use of fieldwork and ethnography in social work practice, education and research, ethical dilemmas, and trauma. The main part of the thesis consists of personal diaries illustrating work with people on the move in Bosnia and the daily challenges faced by people on the move and volunteers/activists. The data in this thesis was collected through observation with participation during my three months of fieldwork.
