๐ Student mobility experiences: ” I am delighted that I had an opportunity to talk in classes with my fellow social work colleagues from Austria about my current work on MA thesis and my home country. For the purposes of marking the International Social Work Day (21.03.2023), social work students and staff gathered together for inspiring presentations dedicated to the social work profession, what are the true roles and values and of social work and what can social workers do to improve the society. Afterwards, we gathered at the central city square, where some of the students and teachers presented performances to us symbolising signifance of giving support and social work. At that place volunteers from the student union were active providing others with food, drinks and various gifts”. (Milan Keลกeljeviฤ, MA student from the Faculty of Political Science, University of Sarajevo on CEEPUS mobility at the Carinthia University in Austria)
We encourage other social work and social policy students to apply for mobility and enrich their social work/social policy education by adding a regional and international mobility experience in their studies.
