CWU School of Social Work Organizes Activities for World Social Work Day

To celebrate the 10th annual World Social Work Day, the School of Social Work at China Women's University (CWU) launched an activity on the theme of "Developing Social Work, Helping the Disabled" on March 15.

By using texts and posters centered on the theme, the organizers showed the school's basic situation in teaching, scientific research, and fields of special study. Organizers also presented the status quo of social work practice and voluntary associations that provide support in border areas, and focused on several projects including the Sunshine Project, Growth Guidance, and Home Visits.

The volunteers introduced the history of the calendar event in detail, and invited teachers and students to attend the activity. Li Mingshun, Chairperson of CWU Council, visited the site, and praised the event. Attendees also included the secretary of the school's General Party Branch. Students recorded a short video to call on more people to participate in social work.

Taking the opportunity on the occasion of the first Social Work Publicity Week in Beijing, organizers launched series of activities, including social work knowledge publicity, a volunteer service photography exhibition, and recording video messages. These activities aimed to promote the value and idea of social work, show students' presence in carrying out services to the public, and bringing teachers and students into social workers' lives.
