Joint meeting - Alicante, 6th March 2004
Developing Stronger European Social Work Partnerships
At historic meetings of European social work bodies in early March, EASSW(1) and IFSW(2) agreed with AIEJI(3) and FESET(4) that the 4 associations will work towards signing a formal memorandum of partnership within the next 12 months. The meetings were held in Alicante, Spain. After the meetings, Christine Labonte-Roset, President of EASSW and David N Jones, European President of IFSW agreed that:
"The development of a more inclusive and social Europe affects everybody in Europe. This has big implications for the social professions, who help those in difficulty, and therefore their education and training. Our organisations have much in common. We must work together to pool resources and increase our impact at a European level. The memorandum of partnership will send a strong signal to European institutions and to social workers across Europe."
Working together to ensure successfull European networking
EASSW and IFSW reaffirmed their decision to hold a joint conference in Cyprus in 2005(5) and to plan future biennial European social work symposia on joint basis.
European network for quality assurance of social professions
EASSW, FESET, AEIJI and CESSNET(6) signed an agreement to launch a formal quality assurance scheme for social work programmes in higher education institutions with an international dimension in a European context and created a legal body in the form of ENQASP to carry out this work. FICE will join this agreement. IFSW will assist in some formal procedures.
Divers project - Working together on action and research
EASSW has been successful in the first stage of a strong bid, supported by IFSW, for European funding for a pan-European action research programme on social and ethnic diversity in Europe. The programme involves partners in 15 countries.
9 November 2004 - Working together on European social work action day
IFSW has organised Social Work Action Day every November for the last 4 years. EASSW will be joint sponsors in 2004. National member organisations organise a wide variety of events across Europe on that day, including conferences, meetings with government and media events. EASSW agreed to publicise the day and to encourage national groups, universities and higher education institutions to arrange events and to involve students.
Working together with European institutions
EASSW and IFSW discussed practical arrangements to support more effective lobbying of the Council of Europe, European Union and European Parliament. "It is essential for the health of social services and for the future of the profession that there is a strong social work voice in Brussels and Strasbourg, the Presidents agreed. IFSW and EASSW are already co-operating in work with the Council of Europe on human rights, education policy and social inclusion. Both bodies have consultative status with the Council of Europe and are using their joint resources to ensure a more co-ordinated and consistent approach to lobbying.
