Global Social Work TALK 2023
FUTURE OF GLOBAL SOCIAL WORK
Global Institute of Social Work in collaboration with International Association of Schools of Social Work brings you the annual Global Social Work Talk, scheduled for 23 March at 9.30am, (GMT+8, Singapore Time) followed by the GISW AGM at 11am.
The Global Social Work TALK has the slogan “ideas to change the world”. Prominent social workers will present their experiences; and global leaders will share their ideas that impact the community. The aim of GSW TALK is to create impetus for future good.
Topic: The Future of Global Social Work
Speaker: Dr Darla Coffey, immediate past President, and CEO, retired after a 10-year tenure with the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). She is chair of the Capacity Building Committee of International Association of Social Workers and its Resident Treasurer for many years.
Dr Coffey will share her experience with CSWE and identify trends in social work education, which she believes, should lead practice. She will highlight what is the future of social work from a global perspective. Under her leadership the number of accredited programs has grown to 842 with 59 more schools in the process of accreditation.
Dr. Coffey oversaw two updates to the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards; expanded the services and support CSWE offers faculty members and students of accredited programs; elevated the role of social work in inter-professional education. In the past year she has been laser-focused on advancing social work education that is decisively anti-racist, anti-oppressive and anti-colonial.
Darla has been focused and dedicated to supporting the faculty, students, staff, and administrators of hundreds of social work programs at CSWE. Under her leadership, programs across the country have taken steps to improve their curriculums so that social workers have the skills to make a real difference in the lives of their clients and communities. Her deep passion for students and social work is inspirational.
