What are good leadership and management in Social Work? What characterizes successful leaders and managers in Social Work? How do we develop present and future leaders at our social work institutions? What are the best practices, and can we learn from each other? These are some of the questions that are always are at the core of plans of Nepal School of Social Work.
We believe in nurturing young social workers at our institute who are not just leaders but are LEADING THE LEADERS. How to achieve this goal? It is our learning environment and freedom with responsibility that brings the ‘best’ out of our young social work students and faculty members. We do this in many ways. One such way is to celebrate WORLD SOCIAL WORK Day to bring the attention of the Public to the less recognized social work profession in Nepal. Another objective is to reflect our own abilities and aspirations to become a social worker.
I am happy that many interesting activities have taken place in this month of March 2011. Indian Social Work Students from Rajagiri School of Social Work (Kerala) have complete their block placement and returned to Kerala safely. The students of Acharya Institute from Bangalore had a good urban visits and interactions with them useful to understand social work in India and Nepal.
During my recent visit to UK I have learnt how the best schools of social work are mentoring their students. We will try to update our field work methodologies by adding some of the best practices. I also hope that this visit will help to build further partnerships for our school in the near future. I look forward to many more exciting learning activities by you in the months to come.
