SUMMARY:WSWD 2019: Round table on social workers standing up for human rights
DESCRIPTION:This year the World Social Work Day\, 19 March\, promotes the importance of human relationships. It is a key day in which social workers worldwide stand together to celebrate the achievements of the profession and take the theme message into their communities\, workplaces and to their governments to raise awareness of the social work contributions and need for further action. In celebration of this day\, the International Federation of Social Workers\, Avenir Social and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights organize an event to raise awareness on the interlinkages between human rights and social work. The event\, in the form of a round table\, will discuss social workers’ professional commitments to human rights and ways to translate those commitments into everyday social work. In the definition of Social Worker human rights principles are included as fundamental”: “The social work profession promotes social change\, problem solving in human relationships and the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being. Utilizing theories of human behavior and social systems\, social work intervenes at the points where people interact with their environments. Principles of human rights and social justice are fundamental to social work”.\nTraditional social-work ethical codes echo the Universal Declaration of Human Rights\, a milestone in international human rights law\, and social work’s ethical commitments compel social workers to advocate for human rights. The clearest link between social work and human rights exists within the UDHR itself: Article 25 elaborates the right to “necessary social\nservices: “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family\, including food\, clothing\, housing and medical care and necessary social services\, and the right to security in the event of unemployment\, sickness\, disability\, widowhood\, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control. Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance”. \nSpeakers\nMr. Rio Hada\, Team Leader\, Economic\, Social and Cultural Rights (OHCHR)\nMr. Rory Truell\, General Secretary of IFSW\nMs. Annina Grob\, Co-CEO of avenirsocial\nMr. Kumi Naidoo\, General Secretary\, Amnesty International (tbc)\nMr. Joachim Mumba\, Social Worker and IFSW Regional Vice President\, Zambia \nCoffee will be served from 9.30 on \nDownload the invitation here. \nFree participation. No registration necessary but kindly asking to inform by email:

SUMMARY:2nd International Conference on “Promoting the Importance of Human Relationships and Community Accountability”
DESCRIPTION:     Sub theme\n\n\n\n\nAcademic Frustration among students\, Importance of Human Relations for a sound community\, Involvement in Drugs\, Counseling and Rehabilitation Role of Social Workers and Department of Narcotics of Bangladesh Government.\nDigital Education\, ICT and Sustainable Development of Bangladesh.\nSustainable Development Goals\, Community Development\, and Social Leadership.\nEnvironment\, Climate Change and Disaster Management and Social Workers Intervention.\nSocial Development\, Modernization\, and Development Organizations.\nHumanitarian Activities\, Social Justice and Human rights.\nGender issues\, Women empowerment and Transformation of Community\nIndustrialization\, Urbanization\, Social Problems and Social Work Intervention.\nPoverty Eradication\, Microcredit\, Corporate Social Responsibility-CSR\, Social Business and Social Welfare Services in Bangladesh.\nCareer in Social Work\, General Education\, Training and Employability in Social Work.\nCommunity Issues like Human Trafficking\, Rohingya Refugee\, Early marriage\, Early Childhood Education and Care\, Acid Violence and Social Work Counselling\, Traffic Congestion\, Car free City and Environment pollution free city and so on.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration WSWD 2019 (1) \nCall for Papers \nSocial Work is a profession which provides counseling services on the basis of scientific knowledge and skills throughout the world. It extends services for the underprivileged group of people from all ages towards sustainable rehabilitation. In Asia\, the practices of social work are still not remarkably mentionable in the field of social services because of its less expansion and orientation among the mass people. Social Work can contribute in peace building and transformation of the human society of Bangladesh and bring positive social changes. \n“Social work is a practice-based profession and an academic discipline that promotes social change and development\, social cohesion\, and the empowerment and liberation of people. Principles of social justice\, human rights\, collective responsibility and respect for diversities are central to social work. Underpinned by theories of social work\, social sciences\, humanities and indigenous knowledge\, social work engages people and structures to address life challenges and enhance wellbeing”.Adopted in 2014 by IASSW and IFSW \nCommunity Development is now a very emerging issue in the connection of national development globally. Every developing country like Bangladesh concentrates on Community Development as the fore step of national development. This year’s theme of World Social Work Day is “Promoting the Importance of Human Relations”\, which will be globally observed. Traditionally existing relationship in the society based on some tested and sustainable norms and values and production activities is losing its entity at the advent of the forces of disequilibrium and failing to base on alternative legal and economic foundations. Public governance system has already surrendered to the market forces especially in economically backward countries where the sovereignty crisis has taken a new form and governments are relentlessly striving to overcome the crisis with all means. \nOn the other hand\, emergence of new and/or new version of technologies following cyber and information revolution are superseding individual capabilities as well as curtailing human strengths to control technologies rather ontrolling human values and behavior. \nDevelopment\, governance and transformation have positive correlation and causal relationship among themselves. They need to be addressed in an integral manner. But currently lack of coordination and integration at conceptual and functional levels has created an adverse situation\, a situation of natural and environmental imbalances. All\nthese ultimately are pushing the planet with all species into a devastating situation. It requires insightful holistic and integrative analytical approaches from scholars\, academicians\, researchers and practitioners across borders\, disciplines\, functional areas and generations. All of them have their own role and identities in the context of totality and always influence and are influenced by the totality too. \nOn the above backdrop WSWD 2019: 2 nd International Conference on “Promoting the Importance of Human Relationships and Community Accountability” will be hosted by the Community Social Work Practice and Development Foundation (CSWPD Foundation)in active collaboration with Health 21\, Habitat for Humanity International\, Acid Survivor Foundation (ASF)\, Projukti O Projonmo Foundation\, Uttara Development Programme Society (UDPS)\, Amra Sobai Foundation\, MUB 92 Foundation\, Work for Better Bangladesh Trust and Department of Sociology and Social Work of the People’s University of Bangladesh as academic partner on March 19-20\, 2019 at Family World Grand Convention Hall\, Asad Avenue\, Mohammadpur\, Dhaka-1207. It would be a big congregation of renown researchers\, academics\, experts and social work practitioners of the respective fields and will provide a wide possibility of high level interaction\, group discussion and debate in a supportive\, relaxed and thoughtful environment. The conference will put more emphasis on the social work practitioners\, young social leaders\nand volunteers and community development thinkers in the context of Bangladesh. \nDate for Submission of Paper: All interested speakers are cordially requested to send their summary paper or maximum 15 Power Point Slides within 28 th February 2019. Topic of discussion must be relevant to the sub themes of the seminar. \nContact Address: email:  \, Cell: +8801712051203

SUMMARY:International Conference on Child Development Accounts: New Approaches to Child Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:The Azerbaijan Social Work Public Union organizes the Conference on Child Development Accounts – A new Development Approach.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference is organized together with the Washington University in St. Louis’ Center for Social Development and Next Age Institute\, with the support of the NGO Council under the President’s Office of the Republic of Azerbaijan. \nThe conference is on Child Development Accounts. Child Development Accounts (CDAs) are savings or investment accounts that begin as early as birth as they first suggested by CSD Director Michael Sherraden in his book “Assets and the Poor”. In many cases\, public and private matching funds are deposited into these accounts to supplement savings for the child. The purpose of CDAs is to promote savings and asset building for lifelong development. Therefore\, CDAs may can be opened to supplemental education and experiences in childhood\, post-secondary education for youth\, and home ownership and enterprise development in adulthood. CDAs allow parents and children to accumulate savings to ensure a confident start for child after 18 years old. \n\nFor more information\, please click on the following links \nConference Announcement \nFlyer \nPreliminary Agenda \n

In joining with us in 2018\, we hope that you will establish and enhance relationships that will have a lasting impact on social work and social development practices nationally and internationally.

SUMMARY:Social Work Distance Education Conference
DESCRIPTION:Advancing Social and Economic Justice Through Innovation\nThe social work profession strives to fight injustices and empower underserved communities. Through distance education\, we can achieve global connection. Distance education can be utilized to reach potential students who may not have access to the social work profession. Social work education\, provided through a distance-learning platform\, allows students to grow where they live\, enhancing social justice and reaching global communities. \nIn 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.
