What can one week abroad bring to your social work education? New perspectives, international friendships and the confidence to step outside your comfort zone.
In this episode of TheSocialpod, Steinar Vikholt meets fellow SocNet98 coordinators in Emden, Germany, to introduce the four destinations for International University Week 2027:
Emden, Germany: Methods of social work in a European context, including creative approaches through art, music, dance and drama.
Linz, Austria: Social work responses to global challenges, from climate change and migration to inequality and nationalism.
Girona, Catalonia, Spain: Living together in diversity, exploring inclusion, equality and social cohesion.
Jihlava, Czech Republic: Building resilience in beginning social workers.
Alongside the themes, we explore what makes IUW special: interactive workshops, field visits, social activities and learning together across borders. We also discuss why you do not need perfect English to take part, and how meeting students and lecturers from other countries can strengthen your sense of belonging to the social work profession.
