This international conference will address issues such as rampant poverty, community and environmental sustainability, and the challenges of sustainable development in Africa. As part of celebrating World Social Work Day 2018, the conference delegates will join hands and march on the streets of Kigali; they will have the chance to visit a genocide memorial in the heart of Kigali city, and they will enjoy the hospitality and cultural richness of Rwanda.

Advancing Social and Economic Justice Through Innovation: In this high-speed, tech-driven world, it is more important than ever to share with and learn from one another. Together, we strive to create a meaningful and effective learning environment for our growing student communities.

We invite you to join us for this exciting event to be held at The University of Edinburgh, Scotland, in what is our centenary year. Social Work at Edinburgh University began in 1918, and we are using 2018 as an opportunity to look backwards and forwards, nationally and internationally, at what social work is now and might be in the future.  

The theme of the 2018 conference is Environmental and Community Sustainability: Human Solutions in Evolving Societies and over 2,000 delegates are expected to attend. The conference scientific programme aims to build on the successes of the previous world conferences with sub-themes built around the sustainable development of our environment and our communities.

The main conference theme highlights the ways in which a plurality of sexualities, genders and various intersectionalities converge to shape contemporary society. This conference thus aims to explore how these complexities inform social work practice, research and education for not only academics but also practitioners and service users.
