Urban SOS – invitation to a one-day event on June 3rd 2022. Students, staff, and social work professionals are invited to discuss urbanization and social work
When examining urbanization, we immediately meet the core aspects of social work. While urbanization fosters economic growth, diversity, and social development, it also produces social issues such as inequality, poverty, urban sprawl, discrimination, and segregation. The UN expects the number to rise above 75% by 2050, with more than two billion more people moving to cities (UN, 2014). Urbanization has far-reaching consequences for much of the European population. Thus, since urban areas resonate with local and global social relations, problems, and solutions, they are core to the social work profession.
In Urban SOS, we have developed a framework, which we believe can contribute to the education of future social workers and social services professionals to meet the challenges of urbanization.
| We will give a short presentation of the Urban SOS project and the results produced the project, and we will play the Urban SOS game Around the Block. Come join us in discussions on urban social work and social work education
