Social Work Day 2024
Mar 20, 2024 — All day
Each year, the School of Social Work organizes the Social Work Day. Lectures, roundtables, workshops and other activities are organized around a theme determined by an organizing committee made up of students, other members of the school, and the community. The goal of this day is to enhance the student experience outside the classroom, and to create a space for exchange, awareness raising and mobilization concerning the different realities of social work, particularly in French Ontario.
Social Work Day 2024 theme (in French only): « La santé mentale au cœur de l’intervention »
For the sixteenth consecutive year, the School of Social Work, the Social Work Student Association, and the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (EDIC) of the School of Social Work, supported by the Faculty of Social Sciences, invite you to participate in the activities organized as part of the University of Ottawa's Social Work Day 2024, with the financial support of the Consortium nationale de formation en santé (CNFS).
All events will be held in French only. The activities will take place face-to-face, and you are welcome to bring your children.
Faced with the many current upheavals and tensions that have continued to affect us in recent years, the theme chosen for Social Work Day 2024 is: « La santé mentale au cœur de l’intervention ». This theme highlights the need to broaden our methods, to adopt and discover new and diversified tools in order to create environments that are more conducive to mental well-being, both for the people involved and for the various members of the community. This will contribute to a more balanced and resilient society.
Spread out over the course of a day, the activities on offer will enable you to enjoy a variety of experiences related to your program of study, while giving you the opportunity to meet the School of Social Work's administrative and teaching staff, practitioners, students enrolled in the various programs offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences, and members of the community. Three activities are open to anyone in the community interested in taking part, and the Magushan - Community Dinner is reserved for students and members of the School of Social Work's administrative and teaching staff.
