At the initiative of EASSW and SWAN, June 4th,5th and 6th were declared as European Social Work Day of Solidarity with Refugees. On this occasion we wish to provide support for social workers/others already working with refugees as well as facilitate an open space for the experiences and perspectives of refugees themselves.
Program
10am – 2pm: Theatre of the oppressed (held in Slovene language)
Theatre of the oppressed is a rehearsal for a revolution – We will be playing out different possible solutions, reactions and actions to social situations described by participants themselves in a safe environment. We will gain the experience of a reaction with which we are satisfied and with which we can influence and change the society. The participants of the workshop will be students of the Master programme and social workers/others active in the field of migration.
