The Social Work
Program in the
College of
Humanities and
Social Sciences
at United Arab
Emirates
University in
al-‘Ain, would
like to invite
submissions to
its 1st National
Social Work
Conference on
the State of
Social Work in
the United Arab
Emirates, al-‘Ain
6 – 7 November
2007
Social workers
in the United
Arab Emirates
(UAE) serve a
diverse group of
people
experiencing a
wide range of
social
challenges.
Therefore, they
need advanced
knowledge,
skills, and
expertise in a
variety of areas
and practice
settings in
order to
effectively
handle the
various issues
and challenges
faced by
individuals,
groups,
families,
organizations,
and the larger
UAE community.
As the primary
educational
training
provider for
social workers
in the Emirates,
the Social Work
Program at UAE
University is
mandated to
produce
professional
graduates in the
field of Social
Work, who will
be able to
deliver
effective social
work services,
identify and
address social
challenges and
meet individual,
familial, group,
and community
needs throughout
UAE.
The UAEU Social
Work Program
seeks to create
a forum where
academics,
student social
workers,
practicing
social workers,
and others can
both collaborate
and coordinate
both their
respective
theoretical
effort and
practical work
on the state of
social work in
the UAE. It is
hoped that the
proposed
National Social
Work Conference
will provide an
opportunity for
social work
theory and the
realities of
social work
practice in the
UAE to engage
constructively
in meeting the
needs of the
communities they
serve.
The 1st National
Social Work
Conference on
the State of
Social Work in
the United Arab
Emirates will
convene in the
Emirate of Abu
Dhabi’s garden
city Al Ain,
from 6–7
November 2007
(The venue for
Conference will
be announced later).
