The collaboration arenas SUD (Development Center for Social Services in Dalarna) and ASK (Arena for Social Knowledge Development) together with Dalarna University, Gävle University, and the Open University of Mauritius invite you to a local conference to celebrate World Social Work Day.
The purpose of World Social Work Day is to bring attention to the successes and possibilities of social work globally and locally, to engage networks and local communities, and to contribute to new knowledge.
Social Workers around the world celebrate World Social Work Day, which is now in its 16th year and was originally initiated by the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW). This year´s theme ”Respecting Diversity Through Joint Social action”, is both a vision and a plan of action. More information is available on IFSW´s website.
