In recent years, Europe has been increasingly confronted with various challenges. Dealing with these challenges makes it indispensable for social work to get engaged with supranational social policy in the EU. Therefore, the question of social work as a participant in complex political decision-making processes arises. This chapter deals with the problems and perspectives of social work to exert influence at EU level. Based on a small empirical study on interns and young professionals with a social work background in European politics, the authors discuss the challenges and routines of daily life in EU politics. The analysis of data gathered from interviews gives insight into the motives and reasons of social work students who are engaged in European politics while working for NGOs and social associations in Brussels. The research also includes findings on the difficulties and “cultural shock” most interviewees went through and what they in retrospect would expect from their schools of social work as effective training and preparation for such a career.
