Social Work History Re-examined - from a Shared History to a Shared Future
Aim
2. To strengthen international cooperation between the Baltic and German countries in the field of social work education.
Description
Between October 13 and November 15, 2025, as part of the project, a series of lectures and seminars will be held focusing on approaches to social work in a historical context, adapting methodologies for academic work with students.
From November 10 to 12, 2025, lecturers and students from all partner universities will visit the Catholic University of Applied Sciences in Munich to explore the history of social work.
Social work students will acquire fundamental knowledge of the history of social work in Europe and in their own countries, promoting critical reflection – through cooperation between the Baltic and German partners – on how history is taught and how it influences social work education.
The project combines in-person and online learning methods, as well as digital platforms such as Padlet, to facilitate active international cooperation and exchange of ideas.
Through interactive and digital methods, students and lecturers will be encouraged to collaborate in research, culminating in the development of a joint research proposal in the field of social work education.
