Three international and eight local hosts will jointly organize the conference. This first ever consortium offers a unique platform for more than 2,000 professionals, academics, practitioners, social planners, policy makers and advocates from East and West to meet, exchange, and develop an action agenda for social work and social development in the next decade.

We cordially invite you to join the journey in building a new action agenda and new direction and priorities for social work and social development.

We invite you to be part of the process of envisioning and shaping the agenda, to set the questions, to start the debates, and to:

  • Share new knowledge and skills, document best practice and development strategies, and empower each other in the pursuit of quality, excellence and innovation in practice and advocacy of social development and social work
  • Create learning opportunities as well as forums to expand the dialogue to find new solutions or new roles for the profession to meet the changing needs and problems
