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.
