2021 SYMPOSIUM THEME

It has become increasingly clear that the world is in a state of constant change: in relation to politics, climate, health, disease and economics; with resulting imacts on human life, human rights, systematic oppression, interpersonal conflict and widening socio-economic gaps.

There is an ever-growing need for group work to help build connections, address social isolation, enhance mutual understanding and challenge inequities through activism and community organizing.


For more information, please visit www.iaswg.org/2021symposium or email symposium@iaswg.org. We encourage presenters to be current IASWG members. All presenters must register for symposium.
