Conference: Social work resistance : Care for change

Our NORWEL-team member Nina Schiøll Skjefstad is co-organizing a conference in Dubrovnik this September.

About the conference and dates:

The world we live in is progressively becoming a hostile environment to genuine social work – at the same time, social work is needed more than ever.

At the Dubrovnik School of Social Work Theory and Practice, following the issuance of The Dubrovnik Manifesto, we have come to realise that we need to resist adverse societal trends while at the same time caring for the necessary social changes and transforming the ways in which we care for one another.

For this purpose, we are staging a conference, hoping to provide time and space to voice concerns and to explore ways in which social work can retain its essence and contribute to a better future.

Conference dates: September 1st – 3rd 2026

Join us in Dubrovnik this September – together, we can be stronger!

An official invitation with more details will follow, but for now, save the dates!
