Concept and idea

This webinar aims to create a space for reflection of the social implications of the current Corona Crisis in the contexts of social work and social welfare. It addresses social welfare and social work scholars and social workers from different countries. The current situation will be discussed in relation to the theoretical frameworks of Sustainable Welfare and Green Social Work.

This webinar aims a) to gather current perspectives from different countries and welfare systems and b) to draw first common conclusions. After the webinar, the hosts are aiming to create a little collection of theses.

The event is hosted by Prof. Dr. Christian Spatscheck (Hochschule Bremen, City University of Applied Sciences, School of Social Work), Prof. Matteo Villa (University of Pisa, Department of Political Science) and Prof. Brenda Pereyra (Universidad Nacional de Lanús, School of Social Work) who have already been working together on the analysis of community organizations in social work and social welfare.
