SUMMARY:Conference “Social Work and Social Welfare: Towards the Pragmatics of Re-institutionalisation”
DESCRIPTION:The conference continues the discussion on the re-institutionalisation of social welfare and social work initiated by the organisers in 2024 (Disaster Preparedness Policy for Humanitarian Crises: A Social Welfare Perspective) and continued in 2025 (Social Assistance and Social Work in Times of Crisis: The Philosophy and Pragmatics of Re-institutionalisation). \nRegistration\n🖊️ Registration via the FORM\nApplication deadline: 2 March 2026\nAfter the registration period closes or once the participant limit has been reached\, registered participants will receive an email confirming their participation in the conference. \nAbout the Conference\nA time of rapid social transformations—often broadly described as a “crisis”—is of particular importance for institutional forms of interpersonal help\, which are subject to deformation\, deprofessionalisation\, and deinstitutionalisation.\n\nExisting methods of social work and organisational forms of social Welfare require substantial revision. Such revision should be grounded in in depth\, community based reflection by those directly involved in helping activities—specifically\, in their knowledge developed through many years of professional practice\, consistently rooted in theoretical preparation\, ethical standards\, and institutional resources.\n\nGuided by professional expertise\, attentiveness to the Other\, and concern for the common good\, it is necessary to rethink and reformulate three fundamental principles of helping practice:\n\n• the meaning and principles of shaping relationships with people in need\,\n• the specificity of the organisation of social welfare as an element of public authority\, and\n• the binding national legislative and administrative solutions.\n\nThe conference “Social Work and Social Welfare: Towards the Pragmatics of Re institutionalisation” continues the discussion on the re institutionalisation of social Welfare and social work initiated by the organisers in 2024 (Polityka gotowości na wypadek katastrof humanitarnych. Perspektywa pomocy społecznej) and continued in 2025 (Pomoc społeczna i praca socjalna w czasach kryzysu. Filozofia i pragmatyka reinstytucjonalizacji). Its purpose is to critically reflect on the core characteristics of Polish social Welfare and social work\, as well as to preliminarily formulate recommendations for strengthening the resilience of helping organisations in a society marked by crisis. \nConference Co-organisers:\n\nInstitute of Sociology\, Jagiellonian University – Department of Sociology of Mental Health and Social Work\nInstitute of Pedagogy\, University of Gdańsk\nBehaviour in Crisis Lab\, Jagiellonian University\nMunicipal Social Welfare Centre in Kraków\nPolish Federation of Social Workers and Social Service Employees Unions\nSocial Work Section of the Sociology Students’ Research Club\, Jagiellonian University\nFaculty of Sociology\, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań – Department of Research on Social Problems and Social Work\n\nThe Kraków initiative is embedded in a broader international context through cooperation with the International Federation of Social Workers.

SUMMARY:Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Course:  Human rights of Social Workers and their Human Rights Responsibilities for Service Recipients
DESCRIPTION:Continuing Professional Development  (CPD) 2026 \nHuman rights of Social Workers and their Human Rights Responsibilities for Service Recipients \nfor practising social workers\, members and representatives of national social work associations\, educators\, and other professionals engaged in social work policy and advocacy\nDates: 27 March · 10 April · 24 April · 8 May 2026\nTime: 12:00–13:30 CET \nRegistration: https://ifsw-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/ZBCxs1-DTsGxl30HbrY50A\nFormat: Online (Zoom\, livestreamed on YouTube)\nLanguage: English\, Spanish \nCo-organized by\nUN Commission of the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW)\nOffice of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)\nIn collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) \nSocial workers operate daily at the frontline of human rights\, supporting individuals and communities while navigating complex systems\, laws\, and institutional expectations. They are both holders of rights — including decent work\, safety\, and professional autonomy — and professionals responsible for respecting and protecting the human rights of service recipients. \nObjectives\nThe CPD aims to: \n\nStrengthen social workers’ understanding of their own human rights and labour rights;\nClarify human rights responsibilities towards service recipients in complex practice settings;\nSupport practical skills for analysing and addressing real-life professional dilemmas;\nIdentify shared advocacy and policy priorities at national and global levels.\n\nProgramme \nSession 1: Human Rights\, Labour Rights\, and Social Work Frameworks\n This session will introduce key concepts and standards from human rights\, labour rights\, and social work perspectives. It will provide a common framework to help participants analyse professional dilemmas and case studies. \nSessions 2–4: Learning from Practice – Case Studies\nEach session will begin with a social work case.. The cases will focus on: \n\nThe multiple roles and expectations placed on social workers;\nTensions linked to public employment\, authority\, and legitimacy;\nEfforts to improve state systems while protecting human rights.\n\nThe three organisations OHCHR\, IFSW\, and ILO will analyse each case along their framework. Participants will jointly examine the cases\, identify relevant rights and responsibilities\, and discuss practical ways to address challenges and improve outcomes for both social workers and service recipients. \nExpected Outcomes\nParticipants will \n\nhave a clearer understanding of their human rights and professional responsibilities;\nfeel more confident in applying human rights principles in daily practice and policy discussions;\ncontribute to identifying key areas for collective advocacy and policy action at the global level.\n\n  \nRegistration is required\, to participate\, register here \nOrganisation  \nPoster \nLanguage: English and Spanish. \nPlatform: zoom\, broadcasted to Youtube  \nCertificate: a certificate of attendance will be provided.

SUMMARY:HISTORIES OF COMPLIANCE AND RESISTANCE: SOCIAL WORKERS AND IMMIGRATION ACROSS EUROPE AND USA
DESCRIPTION:The Social Work History Network has organised an international webinar to be held on 20 April 2026 19:30 to 21:00 UK time. \nThe topical relevance of the theme is obvious in the differing contexts of both UK and USA but we were intrigued to find very limited published material on the history of social work and its relationship with migration\, and specifically immigration to both countries. \nYet there is clear evidence that social work was heavily involved in supporting migrants into both countries in different ways and to some extent was involved in managing the response of governments to the challenges presented by immigration. \nHaving done a lot of digging and literature searching we feel we have engaged an impressive panel of speakers from USA and Europe for what should be a stimulating and challenging webinar\, opening up a little researched aspect of the history of social work. \nhttps://www.kcl.ac.uk/events/histories-of-compliance-and-resistance-social-workers-and-immigration-across-europe-and-usa
