What can you expect from the conference?

DESCRIPTION

War, violence, terror, and propaganda are only a few of the tools that are used to sow discord, hate, and incitement. The politicians and extremists have no regard for the damage to innocent civilians,

How does social work respond to this?

The neoliberal economic system and democracy are incompatible. The laws and regulations necessary to protect the weaker parts of society are not recognized by a system that propagates the free and unimpeded market as the supreme authority.

How does social work respond to this?

Our planet’s resources are running out exploitation and greed has led us to an abyss that demands a radical change. At the same time, wealth is limited to a small elite, while the masses of the population are progressively impoverished.

How does social work respond to this?

Technical developments have not only brought us improvements in our lives but also led to increased governmental surveillance.

How can social work respond to this?

Social work has answers.

The foundation of professional social work is fundamental values ​​and ethical principles. These determine our actions and enable the answers to the current challenges.

Based on their experience and qualifications, social workers develop solutions for a successful life and are advocates for the users of social services.

We invite you to explore with us the causes of global dysfunction, its impact on local problems, and the answers of social work in exchanges with colleagues.

Even if visions and ideas are attacked and dismantled, we – as social workers – are still convinced that a social Europe is possible where nobody is left behind!
