CIFETS 2021

 

We are pleased to invite you to attend to the IV International Conference of Social Work (CIFETS 2021) - XIII Congress of Faculties and Schools of Social Work, titled “Social Work in the digital era: ethics and care”, which will be held in a hybrid format on July 14-16, 2021 (if you attend physically, the venue will be The University-Enterprise Foundation of Valencia)

This Conference aims to generate an academic and professional forum for reflection and proposals regarding the challenges posed by digital society, both in its socio-economic dimension (fourth industrial revolution) and in its psychosocial dimension (virtual reality as a new socialization scenario).

We must apply the Social Work perspective to meet the social impacts that this new scenario entails. Both in terms of facing social problems as well as challenges, from the framework of ethics and care. The latter have to be understood in a complex way, incorporating long term care strategies that are compatible with Human Rights, respect diversity, equality and incorporate an ecological dimension.

CIFETS 2021 Conference is an opportunity to address from different theoretical, epistemological and methodological perspectives, the ethical dimension of the above mentioned changes. Also the viability of a digital humanism with effects on social reality and, therefore, in our professional practice and in academic research.

We hope that CIFETS 2021 Conference will be useful to enhance the progress and improvement of the practice of Social Work in today's world, as well as the generation of scientific knowledge while promoting diversity, sustainability, equality, human rights and innovation.

We wish you a happy stay in Valencia.

Chairman of the Conference: 

Dr. Ródenas Rigla, Francisco José. Universitat de València
