Study Program in Social Work

Social Work Students International Meetup (SWSIM) is an attempt to get acquainted with current developments in scientific and practical social work, research, and projects implemented by students, a new generation of social work professionals.

SWSIM has been implemented as Students Coworking in 2018, 2019 at the state level in Lviv, Ukraine at the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU). In 2021 we decided to give it a try and organized an international e-conference, where more than 50 participants from 10 countries of 3 continents shared experiences and discovered new ideas. Let’s see if we can exceed it this year.

Concept of the event:

Our main goal is to create a communication platform where students from all around the world can share their hands-on experience as well as scientific papers. Everything that is related to social work is welcomed in our midst.

Main objectives of SWSIM 2022:

• to maintain the international students` discussion in an area of social work and  to develop bonds among students from around the world;
• to give students an opportunity to exchange their researches’, projects’, and practice results;
• to develop a decision making based on values, professional norms, and research results;
• to show potential and enhance the perspectives of social work;
• to empower tomorrow’s leaders of the social sphere.

Participants:

Undergraduate, Graduate, Postgraduate Students of Social Work, related educational programs all over the World (russian and belarussian students are not welcome because of the war of their countries against Ukraine).

Language: English

Our team invites and encourages Social Work students to participate in Meetup on May 26, 2022

Feel free to choose among various ways of participation:

1. present your scientific research papers;
2. present your project’s results or methodological solutions in social work;
3. present your practical or volunteering experience;
4. listener and you will be engaged in discussions.

Students who participate will work through the course over a week and interact as a cohort in Slack, with the option to participate in synchronous sessions on Zoom if they’d like.

If so, join us for the Citation Management Tools Workshop! This workshop hosted by the UW Libraries is an opportunity to learn about citation management software and how to use it to develop a more efficient research workflow. We explore different tools that are supported by the Libraries and walk through how to install and use them. This is an asynchronous Canvas course that can be done at your own pace, with options for peer-to-peer interaction and support from Libraries staff during the week of 5/16-5/20. Optional synchronous sessions over Zoom will also be offered to augment the course, but are not required.
