On Tuesday 15 March 2011 we are celebrating the World Social Work Day. This annual event focuses on social work contributions to society. This year's topic is how social work is responding to social and economic crises. More in particular, on 15 March we would like you to discuss ways in which social work can set the agenda for sustainable social development in the future.
The debates on the World Social Work Day will be a platform for us to be continued at the ENSACT conference in Brussels, 10 - 13 April 2011. A symposium called 'The Global Agenda of Social Work' on Tuesday 12 April will be a part of this conference and we kindly invite you to join us then.
Feel free to do a poster presentation during the conference, if you are interested in presenting another social work topic.
We look forward to your contribution and hope to meet you in Brussels soon.
