Venue : Webinar
Advocacy has always been one of the essential elements of the social work profession. The values and beliefs in social work are often epitomized through advocacy, be it on an individual case level or at the policy level.
As educators, we are tasked to teach our students, our future generation of social workers what advocacy is, why it is important and how it is practised. The meaning, the importance and the practice of advocacy like any knowledge, evolves with time, with the players, and with the changes in our social, economic, political and physical environment.
Our Annual Departmental Seminar with the support from the Hong Kong Association of Schools of Social Work will place Advocacy in the forefront and provide an opportunity for teachers, students, social workers, tertiary institutions, NGOs and community organizations to revisit this essential element of the social work profession. We have invited experts and scholars to examine advocacy from a social work professional, a global scholar and social innovator standpoint. We hope that this seminar will inspire participants to generate thoughts and ideas on how social workers, educators and policy makers should view and proceed with advocacy for the betterment of our society in changing times.
