Historical persons


These biographical presentations aim to describe persons who have played an important role in the development of international social work, or who have contributed significantly to the development of social work and won international reputation.

The list will be expanded gradually, and we welcome proposals from member organisations and others. We have to emphasize, however, that this list will be restricted to persons who have made a very significant contribution, and also that the list will only include deceased persons.
