Welcome to the IFSW European Social Work Conference 2025 in Oslo, Norway!

Social workers operate at the intersection of individuals, families, societies, cultures, and nature. One of the greatest challenges of our time is the impact of climate change on both individuals and societies. Simultaneously, the deadline for achieving the UN’s sustainability goals is rapidly approaching. Where do we stand, and what remains to be done? How can social workers contribute? What is the hope for the future? What can we as social workers learn from indigenous perspectives? How can we build a sustainable future together?
