Ubuntu, decolonial and indigenous social work

Global indigenous knowledges such as Ubuntu are playing a huge role in transforming, indigenising and decolonising social work learning, teaching and practice. ‘Ubuntu: Strengthening Social Solidarity and Global Connectedness’ is one of the themes of the Global Agenda for Social Work and Social Development 2020 to 2030. This agenda was set by the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW), and the International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW). This acknowledgement of global indigenous knowledges has been appreciated across the social work fraternity. Increasingly, more information is being sought about how to use global indigenous knowledges in learning, teaching and practice. The workshop will provide a space to yarn about global indigenous knowledges and will have examples from current researches and projects.
