The International Summer University in Social Work Programme (ISUSW) was successfully held from July 11 – 22, 2022 at the University of California, Los Angeles. Prof. Steven Ngai and two of our postgraduate students participated in this inspiring program.
The event was co-organized by our Department, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (Switzerland), University of British Columbia (Canada), the University of California, Los Angeles (USA), the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel), Rajagiri College of Social Sciences (India), University of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Western Sydney University (Australia) and Shandong University (China). During the twelve-day program, delegates from the institutions mentioned above were invited to deliver presentations on “Community Engagement and Social Justice”. Students had the opportunity to visit different local agencies including the LGBTQ Center and St. Vincent Cardinal Manning Center, a homeless shelter. They also participated in a few workshops to discuss related topics and were invited to share their learning.
