Social Work and Youth : Towards Inclusive Sustainable Development

Every year, social workers around the globe gather to celebrate World Social Work Day. At the 2018 edition held at the United Nations Office at Geneva, participants from the policy, practice, academic and advocacy communities will explore the role of social work education and practice in harnessing the potential of youth for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Through discussions sparked by a keynote speech, panel presentations, roundtables and interactive practical workshops, participants will identify ways of leveraging the values and tools of social work to enable young people to thrive and contribute to building equitable, inclusive and sustainable communities at the local, national and global levels.
