These values were reflected at the 2026 International Trauma Recovery Conference<\/strong>, held on 20 July 2026<\/strong> at St. Luke's International University in Tokyo, Japan<\/strong>, where scholars, practitioners, community organizations, and people with lived experience came together to explore new pathways for trauma recovery.<\/p>The conference represented an important milestone in building stronger partnerships between universities, health professionals, social workers, community organizations, and survivor-led initiatives from Japan and across the world. Rather than focusing solely on research findings, the meeting created opportunities for genuine dialogue between academia and civil society, reinforcing the belief that sustainable trauma recovery requires collaborative, community-based, and culturally responsive approaches.<\/p>Representing the EASSW<\/strong>, the Department of Social Work at Hellenic Mediterranean University<\/strong> and the Social Applied Research and Social Work Lab (SoRSoW)<\/strong>, Dr. Kleio Koutra<\/strong> delivered a presentation highlighting the evolving role of social work in trauma recovery research and practice. Drawing on the work of the international MiStory (Multicultural Study of Trauma Recovery)<\/strong> collaboration, she presented evidence demonstrating how survivor narratives can inform trauma-informed practice, culturally responsive interventions, and social work education across diverse cultural settings.<\/p>Her presentation emphasized that trauma recovery extends far beyond symptom reduction. Recovery is a relational, community, and social process, shaped by supportive relationships, social capital, community participation, and culturally meaningful resources. This perspective aligns closely with the core values of social work and highlights the profession's unique contribution to interdisciplinary trauma-informed care.<\/p>The conference also strengthened collaboration with a wide range of Japanese organizations and community partners, including Saya- Saya,<\/strong> STAND Still With<\/strong>, the Better Future Foundation<\/strong>, and numerous local practitioners and advocates. Their participation illustrated the value of bringing together universities, community organizations, artists, practitioners, and people with lived experience to co-create knowledge and promote recovery-oriented communities.<\/p>The international programme featured contributions from colleagues representing the University of Michigan<\/strong>, Yokohama National University<\/strong>, Temple <\/strong> University<\/strong>, Springfield College<\/strong>, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki<\/strong>, Hellenic Mediterranean University<\/strong>, and many other institutions, reflecting the truly global nature of the MiStory network.<\/p>Beyond the scientific programme, the conference concluded with the MiStory Japan Photo Exhibition<\/strong> and a moving public reading by Noriko Yamada (Yokohama National University)<\/strong>, demonstrating how storytelling, photography, and the arts can foster dialogue, reduce stigma, and amplify survivors' voices.<\/p>For EASSW, this conference serves as an inspiring example of how social work education, international research partnerships, and community engagement<\/strong> can work together to address one of today's most pressing global challenges. It also demonstrates the importance of investing in collaborative networks that connect research with practice and ensure that the voices of survivors remain at the centre of trauma-informed social work.<\/p>We warmly congratulate all organizers, speakers, community partners, and participants for making this event such a meaningful success and look forward to continued collaboration in advancing trauma recovery research, education, and practice across the globe.<\/p>#EASSW #SocialWork #TraumaRecovery #GlobalSocialWork #InternationalCollaboration #MiStory #MentalHealth #CommunityEngagement #SocialWorkEducation #TraumaInformedCare #Japan #Greece #Research #PublicHealth #SoRSoW #HellenicMediterraneanUniversity<\/p><img src='\/images\/uploads\/DSC09066.jpeg' width='640' height='427' alt='' data-mce-src='..\/..\/images\/uploads\/DSC09066.jpeg' style='display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;' data-mce-style='display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;'> <\/p>","Flag":"2","Category":"0","item_type":"0"},{"id":"156","visible":"1","Title":"CALL FOR ABSTRACT - ECSWE 2027 LEEDS","Dates":"","Short_body":"Leeds Beckett University invites submissions for the 2027 European \r\n Conference of Social Work Education (ECSWE), 23\u201325 June 2027.","Body":"<img src='..\/..\/images\/uploads\/CALLFORABSTRACTSECSWE2027LEEDS.png' width='450' height='566' alt='' data-mce-src='..\/..\/images\/uploads\/CALLFORABSTRACTSECSWE2027LEEDS.png' style='display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;' data-mce-style='display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;'><\/p> <\/p><table class='mcnTextContentContainer mce-item-table' border='0' width='100%' cellspacing='0'><tbody><tr><td class='mcnTextContent' valign='top'><div style='text-align: center;' data-mce-style='text-align: center;'>23, 24, 25 June 2027<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/div><div> Leeds Beckett University is delighted to invite submissions for the 2027 European Conference of Social Work Education<\/strong>. The conference will bring together social work educators, researchers, practitioners, students, service users, community partners, and policy-makers from across Europe and beyond to engage in critical dialogue about the future of social work education and practice. At a time of profound social, political, environmental, and technological change, social work faces new challenges and opportunities.

It is an inspiration to a broad range of disciplines, far beyond the field of social work, and especially valuable for spatial practitioners and researchers in art, architecture, and urban planning, among others. In her essays, Mona Livholts shows ways of writing and how they impact creative and critical thinking. She inspires novel approaches to transform social and spatial practices from the position of embodiment and with respect to our entanglements within more-than-human worlds. This book is a treasure for the education of social and spatial practitioner and researchers and should be included on their reading lists.\"<\/p>Meike Schalk<\/strong>, Associate Professor in Urban Design and Urban Theory and Docent in Architecture, KTH School of Architecture, Sweden<\/em><\/p>\"In this engaging and timely book, Mona Livholts tackles the question, what might critical re-thinking and re-writing social work knowledge be in the post-anthropocentric era. The non-conventional essayistic spaces of the book foster creative and dialogical encounters with the writing self, with human and non-human life,  and environmentalities. These spaces challenge the separated notions of nature and culture, and human and non-human actors. Livholts shows how post-anthropocentric knowledge production is not only a question of content but one of form. She inspires us to explore life writing genres, such as diaries, letters, poetry, and photography, all of which can be utilized as starting points to seek renewed knowledge into creative theorization, practice, and writing. By foregrounding embodiment, exhaustion, and above all, glocality - a fusion of local and global \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 Livholts\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 situated writing bridges the personal with the planetary and paves the way for much needed post-anthropocentric worldviews in academic work and beyond. The book will be highly useful for active scholars across disciplines as well as interested readers more generally.\" <\/p>Riikka Hohti<\/strong>, Postdoctoral researcher in the Faculty of Education and Docent in Childhood Studies, University of Helsinki, Finland<\/em><\/p>\"This book takes the reader on a rich voyage afloat eight essayistic pieces which carry Mona Livholt\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s propositions for re-thinking and re-conceptualising social work towards a glocal and post-anthropocentric worldview. Encouraging readers to engage in Slow and diffractive reading, the book argues the imperative of a glocal lens, a complex fusion of global and local beyond the binary itself that acknowledges human-nature entanglements. In the essays, beautifully stitched together, we are guided by a generous sharing of the author\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s subjective experiences and observations, diffracted through complex decolonial, indigenous, new materialist and posthumanist scholarship, to walk along with the author on a journey of radical reframing and reimagining of social work. Most inspiring is the way in which the book models its arguments through its creative, dialogical, experimental and diffractive narrative form. Through each essay the book disrupts normative logics of scholarship, fashioning a scholarship beyond the authoritative, cartesian, disembodied and non-relational academic subject. While primarily speaking with and through social work, the book offers much for critical decolonial, feminist and queer scholars and others across disciplinary boundaries and geopolitical spaces, who are \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153staying with the trouble\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 as Donna Haraway has urged, and are committed to responsible and careful engagements in current times of planetary challenge.\"<\/p>Tamara Shefer<\/strong>, Professor, Women\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s and Gender Studies, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa<\/em><\/p>\"Timely, thought proving, elegant, and purposefully transgressive in the attempt to offer and foster diverse ways to reconceptualise social work in the Anthropocene \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 and forward.
