The 2019 world social work day highlights ‘Promoting the Importance of Human Relationships’.
World Social Work Day is on the 19th March 2019. It is the key day in the year that 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.
This year’s theme focusses on the social relationships between people’s essential relationships with each other, their environments and their futures. Dr Rory Truell, IFSW Secretary-General said:
‘There was a famous moment in recent history when politician Margaret Thatcher ushered-in the current global period of conservatism and the dismantling of state services when announcing: “there’s no such thing as society, there are individual men and women”. Thatcher’s view continues to have devastating effects as it remains dominant over many aspects of world and national politics. This 2019 World Social Work Day theme directly addresses this false and brutality conservative dogma. From the social work experience all people are bound together by social relationships that determine the quality and security of life. Worldwide the social work profession will unify in promoting the importance of building policies and practices that recognize, cultivate and enrich our interdependent relationships – for peace, the realization of all people’s equal rights and a sustainable world.’
All social work partners and members are welcome to co-brand the WSWD poster by adding their logo alongside the IFSW logo.

UFAS s’unit à ce mouvement mondial régénérateur
La journée mondiale du travail social 2019 met en lumière «Garantir L’importance Des Relations Humaines»
La Journée mondiale du travail social a lieu le 19 du mois de mars. C’est le jour clé de l’année au cours duquel les travailleurs sociaux du monde entier se mobilisent pour célébrer les réalisations de la profession et diffuser le message thématique dans leurs communautés, leurs lieux de travail et leurs gouvernements afin de mieux faire connaître les contributions du travail social et la nécessité de prendre des mesures supplémentaires.
Le thème de cette année met l’accent sur les relations sociales entre les relations essentielles des personnes les unes avec les autres, leur environnement et leur avenir.
Le Dr Rory Truell, Secrétaire général de l’IFSW, a déclaré:
«Il y a eu un moment célèbre de l’histoire récente lorsque la politicienne Margaret Thatcher a inauguré la période mondiale actuelle de conservatisme et de démantèlement des services de l’État en annonçant:« il n’y a pas de société, il y a des hommes et des femmes ». Le point de vue de Thatcher continue d’avoir des effets dévastateurs puisqu’il reste dominant sur de nombreux aspects de la politique mondiale et nationale.
Ce thème de la Journée mondiale du travail social 2019 aborde directement ce dogme conservateur faux et brutal.
À partir de l’expérience de travail social, toutes les personnes sont liées par des relations sociales qui déterminent la qualité et la sécurité de la vie.
Dans le monde entier, la profession de travailleur social s’unira pour promouvoir l’importance d’élaborer des politiques et des pratiques qui reconnaissent, développent et enrichissent nos relations interdépendantes – pour la paix, la réalisation des droits égaux de tous les peuples et un monde durable. “

Celebrating the World Social Work Day with the Conference The “Power in Practice” at DMU organized at De Montfort University’s.
As our world becomes increasingly target-driven, outcome focused, and bureaucratic, how can social work not only maintain value based practice, and support socially just approaches? This is the central question that will be asked during the presentation from academics, practitioners, students and service-users, we will examine power in practice, and how radical social work can allow us to be more creative practitioners. By examining power, the day aims to identify how to promote service user views in practice, how to support newly qualified practitioners to develop into ethically minded professionals, and how to address the power imbalances inherent in social welfare.
