Unstoppable Work 'Volunteer Service'... Silla University Department of Social Welfare Holds 'Social Welfare Practice Competency Enhancement Workshop'

Volunteer Workshop Held to Train Social Workers Strong in Field Practice

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] No matter how difficult COVID-19 makes things, volunteer work cannot stop like this!

The Department of Social Welfare at Silla University (President Kim Chung-seok) held a "Volunteer Workshop to Strengthen Social Welfare Practice Competency" on April 8 via the video conferencing platform Zoom.

The Department of Social Welfare organized this workshop to overcome the decline in volunteer activities due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to spread awareness of the necessity of volunteering.

The department expects this event to help cultivate social workers who are strong in field practice and to boost the morale and pride of current students.

The event began with volunteer education by Lee Jin-hee, team leader of the Sasang-gu Volunteer Center. This was followed by presentations of volunteer practice cases by current students and linking freshmen with volunteer organizations.

The senior students’ honest and cheerful sharing of their volunteer experiences received a positive response from the freshmen.

No Soo-hee, an invited professor of the Department of Social Welfare who conducted the event, said, “I hope this workshop, directly planned by the department to revitalize volunteering, will help students’ academic growth and serve as an opportunity to reflect on the value of sharing.”

Department head Choi Seon-kyung said, “Based on the rich experience of Silla University’s Department of Social Welfare, which has operated numerous volunteer programs, we will nurture social workers strong in field practice.”

Celebrating its 34th anniversary this year, the Department of Social Welfare at Silla University is conducting practice-centered education focused on strong fieldwork.
