https://www.socyw.com/Social work in the world has developed strongly and affirmed its indispensable role in the sustainable development goals of many countries in the world over the past 100 years. In Vietnam, although it has just taken the first steps in the professionalization process, Social Work has been affirming its role in assisting individuals, families, and communities in need, aiming to ensure social security for all people, comprehensively according to the consistent goals of the Party and State of Vietnam.
In recent years, the world in general has undergone tremendous changes, in which climate change and the Covid 19 pandemic have created a “New Normal” for individuals, groups, communities, countries and the world. These difficult problems require a new vision and global cooperation to solve common problems and specific difficulties. With the pioneering mission of training and researching Social Work in Vietnam, the Faculty of Sociology, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU, in collaboration with partners, organized an international conference with the theme “Make a difference – Social Work without barriers: Towards sustainable development and public emergency response”.
