Social Work and Migration: Promoting Social Justice, Sustainability and Human Rights conference call for workshop proposals
Fairways Hotel, Dundalk
Applications are open for those interested in having an opportunity to contribute to the conference, Social work and migration: promoting social justice, sustainability and human rights. Submissions of proposals for workshop presentations of 20 minutes on research or practice-based developments broadly related to the conference title and theme are invited, highlighting where and how social work is making a difference.
Workshops will run as parallel sessions twice during the conference for approximately one hour before and after lunch. Each workshop will have a number of speakers presenting on the workshop theme as well as time allocated for discussion and questions to provide an opportunity for peer learning.
Proposals are welcomed from a wide range of interest groups, including social work practitioners, researchers, academics, students, and people with lived experience. We are interested to receive proposals relating to social work practice, including collaborative and interdisciplinary work from individuals and from teams. Proposals related to research, policy and advocacy are also sought. Sharing knowledge to improve practice on the following themes is particularly welcome:
- Contribution/benefits of migration
- Community response/community development/successful integration
- Inclusion of children and young people
To have your presentation considered for selection, please complete the details required using the presentation proposal template and email to n.ireland@basw.co.uk by Monday, 7 April. Each proposal will be reviewed by a panel of reviewers, comprising social worker members from the British Association of Social Workers Northern Ireland and the Irish Association of Social Workers.
Acceptance of submissions will be notified by email on Wednesday, 7 May. This notice will be sent to the lead presenter.
