„We are all in this together“.
What do global challenges mean for social work in Austria?
How is the claim to create social justice for all taken up by organizations and individuals in different fields of action? How should, want and can we further develop the goals of social work in solidarity?
The second day takes up impulses and questions of the previous day and offers space to discuss them with regard to very concrete practice. After a round of talks with representatives of social organizations, an open space offers room for in-depth discussions and the discussion and development of concrete (project) ideas for social work in solidarity.
