International Capacity Building Seminar for Social Work Education, Tokyo, 2019

 International Capacity Building Seminar for Social Work Education, Tokyo, 2019

Theme: Current Issues and Future Developments of “Glocal” Social Work Education: Challenges for Constructing  Inclusive Society by “Glocal” Social Work

         

Social work now needs to respond to various challenges caused by complex and worldwide political, economic, social, and environmental conflicts and crises. These challenges include growing social and income gaps, social isolation for various groups and populations, as well as the destruction of life environments by climate change and disasters. These issues are no longer domestic but global in nature, although social work education tends to focus on traditional and narrowly defined domestic problems and methods.

In 2014, IASSW and IFSW revised the global definition of social work to emphasize the “glocal” nature of social work. The term “glocal” implies closer and more dynamic interaction between the local and global aspects of social work issues and practice. Furthermore, respect for diversity, as well as decolonization of the profession, are incorporated.

How do social work educators and practitioners cope with such demanding glocalizing needs? This seminar will provide significant insights from globally active social work educators/researchers who stand at the forefront of international/global social work education.
