The Vietnam Social Work Network (VNSW) was officially launched on July 31, 2007, at a time when social work training was beginning to be implemented in some Vietnamese universities. The Network's creation stemmed from the personal idea of Master's student Tran Van Kham from the Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities.Access address:
vnsocialwork.netThe network was launched with the main goal of creating a forum for sharing information about social work (theory - practice - training institutions), as well as acting as a bridge between students and those involved in teaching and practicing social work. VNSW is built with key information content: news about social work activities, fundamental issues - basic and specialized aspects of social work, necessary resources for social work… currently, there are 200 articles on these topics. In addition, the network also provides other useful tools such as online surveys, a system of ebooks for social work and social science disciplines, a directory of social work training and practice institutions… These contents are continuously being updated and improved. After nearly four years, the network has attracted significant attention from students, teachers, and practitioners of social work nationwide. In its network development plan, the Management Board will continue to improve news content, basic information systems, and reference materials for social work courses, and build a glossary of essential scientific terms for social work… Currently, the Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities offers Social Work programs at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This year, the undergraduate enrollment quota for Social Work is 70.
