The concept and commitment to "social change" have been present over the years in the global-local understanding of the social work profession. However, in the dominant scenario of economic neoliberalism, we have witnessed in the field of social intervention the organization of public responses to structural social problems based on ad hoc and intermittent measures.

This reality has placed public and private non-profit organizations in a position where they need to follow practices focused on demonstrating results and constantly "reinventing appealing intervention projects" that capture the attention of funders, thus allowing them to pursue their sustainability.

In this communication, we aim to (i) initiate an analysis and discussion around what the literature has shown us about "key concepts" inherent to this reflection (e.g., social change, evaluation, and impact); (ii) demonstrate, through the testimony of Social Work professionals collected via semi-structured interviews, the stance of a profession committed to defending Human Rights and social justice in such scenarios; (iii) open paths for the renewal of social evaluation mechanisms that combine ideals of the Person's integrity and the Common Good.
