Dr
Karin Cooper presented a paper in Kigali, Rwanda at the International Social
Work Conference. The paper entitled ‘The
theory-practice nexus in social work education: using Forum Theatre as a
preparation for practice’ emerged from a research project funded by the Ferens Education Trust
and LEAP at the University of Hull.
This inspirational international conference included cultural
performances and a range of presentations from social work service users,
researchers, educators, practitioners, students and policy makers from Africa,
Asia, Australia, Europe and the Middle East – to name but a few. A poignant march through the streets of
Kigali on ‘World Social Work Day’, advocating social justice and human rights, culminated
in a gathering at the Kigali Genocide Memorial to commemorate the 1994 Genocide
and lay a wreath.
