Field of interest
SWoPE group focuses on social workers’ policy engagement in Europe. It deals with all the activities undertaken by individual and organised social workers – on the micro, meso and macro level – to promote social and economic justice and to advance the well-being of individuals, families and communities.
Correspondingly, SWoPE group addresses the structural conditions which facilitate, impede and contribute to shaping social workers’ policy practice and the forms that this takes across Europe and in other countries.
Intended to serve as an interdisciplinary and academic/professional forum, the SIG endorses IFSW and IASSW statements on the “political-must-be” of contemporary social work. It will discuss issues and challenges in the realms of social work theory, methodology, practice and education as well as intersect wider social and political questions about democracy, participation, collective action, social policy and welfare.
Coherently with ESWRA goals, SWoPE group seeks to strengthen networks and collaborations between scholars and educators from different parts of Europe (and beyond), as well as at developing research on social workers’ policy engagement.

In addition to activities undertaken within the context of ESWRA Annual Conferences, SWoPE group will act through:
