Our President, Ana Lima-Fernandez, together with Rory Truell, General secretary of IFSW celebrated WSW Day 2017 participating in the event on Social Work and Sustainable Development at the UN in Geneva.
Every year in March people throughout the world celebrate World Social Work Day. The International Association of Schools of Social Work (www.iassw-aiets.org) and the International Federation of Social Workers (www.ifsw.org) have introduced the annual celebration, jointly organised by their respective Representations at the UN in New York and Geneva. Objectives of WSWD at the UN are: To strengthen existing or to establish new contacts, cooperation and partnership with UN organisations and with allied international NGOs. To spread knowledge about social work, its values, principles and methods in practice and theory among UN-organisations and allied international NGOs. – To highlight social work actions, policies and achievements in the pursuit of common goals. To disseminate the knowledge about UN activities, goals, program and campaigns among social workers and social work organisations and schools.
