Global South-‐North Linkages on Environmental and Climate Justice Jacqui Patterson Director of Environmental and Climate Justice NAACP Drawing on the experiences of NAACP's Afro Descendant Linkages on Environmental and Climate Justice Project, this session will highlight an array of environmental injustices globally, including assaults to air, water, and land, describe people most affected by these violations, uplift ways that grassroots groups and others are taking action to address these issues. The presentation will share multiple examples in the US and in the Global South such as coal pollution fights, oil spills, deforestation, and other issues and some of the ways that we are already being impacted by climate change, including sea level rise, extreme weather events, and shifts in agricultural yields. The presenter will also paint a picture of progressive policy making and practices that would ensure a more sustainable future for all communities worldwide. Statelessness: no right to have rights Sebastian Köhn Program Officer, Open Society Justice Initiative Citizenship is often thought of as the right that provides us with other rights -‐ including the right to live and work in a particular country. Around the world, at least 15 million people have no citizenship anywhere. They are stateless. Stateless persons live in all countries, and their lack of legal status often compromises their access to essential rights and services. This workshop will look at the situation of stateless persons in the United States, Kuwait and Kenya. Three widely different contexts pose different challenges in terms of resolving statelessness and providing essential assistance to those who are stateless. The workshop will look at advocacy strategies to

resolve this problem, as well as best practices in terms of service provision to stateless populations. Keeping Your Word April Riegler Executive Director and Founder, Hope Shines, Inc Hope Shines is a mentoring program for orphans of the genocide in Rwanda. Through games, sports, dance, arts and crafts and educational and health programming, volunteers from abroad and from the local community seek to enhance the quality of life for orphans and empower them to improve their lives. As founder and executive director, April Reigler will walk the group through the inception of Hope Shines, its development and growth all the way through its current endeavors. April's motto is "keep your word." She was inspired to start Hope Shines, said she would do something to help kids and is doing it every day. Inspiration can lead to passion and it’s important to not let that passion burn out, no matter the odds. What started with one person, with only an idea and incredible passion, has turned into an organization with real momentum. Through April's story of founding and leading Hope Shines, the group will come to understand how important it is to keep your word -‐ especially when there are 170 kids relying on it. She will explain how she was able to build Hope Shines from the ground up to where it is operating today. 4 Ways You Can Use Social Media to Change the World Shaun King Founder and CEO , HopeMob In this practical, interactive workshop Shaun King will share proven strategies that he has used over the past 5 years to raise millions of dollars and impact thousands of lives all around the world on a shoestring budget. If your heart is bigger than your bank account, but you have access to the internet, this workshop is for you. Bring your phones, tablets, and laptops!

The Cost of Sugar: Modern Day Slavery in Santo Domingo and the Power of Students to Fight Social Injustices Héctor Pérez, BSW Candidate, Anna Maria College Ashley Maryyanek, BSW Candidate, Anna Maria College This presentation is aimed at promoting awareness to students regarding the deprivation of human rights in the Bateys of Santo Domingo. The presentation will highlight the work completed by the students in the former Batey of San Luis in Santo Domingo. Additionally, it will educate students of how the Dominican government denies the basic human right of recognition by a state as a citizen upon birth for children of Haitian descent living in the Bateys, which essentially keeps them in a cycle of modern day slavery. More importantly, this presentation will teach students that wish to engage in international social work about the importance of promoting community-‐sustainability instead of applying altruist desires for humanitarian work. Moreover, it will also highlight the power students can have in the fight for social justice. This session will provide an overview of the history of the people living in the island of Hispaniola; how the racial tension began and how it is still affecting individuals there; how modern day slavery occurs in the name of sugar; how to promote social justice and advancement of human rights; and what they can do to spread awareness or take a firsthand action to combat this injustice. HIV/AIDS and LGBT youth Joyce Hunter, DSW Research Scientist/Assistant Professor, HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies, NYSPI Adolescence is a time of significant physical and psychosocial development. Developmental process through which lesbian, gay, bisexual youth recognize their homosexual orientation and choose to integrate this knowledge into

their personal and social identities – “Coming Out.” There are many challenges at this vulnerable time-‐-‐isolation and potential loss of family and friends, exposure to HIV and other STIs, drug use, and suicide ideation. In addition to the risks for boys and young men, females now represent 58% of new adolescent AIDS cases (CDC, 2008). This workshop will present the issues and strategies for HIV prevention with this population. Discussion will follow. In the realm of Abled-‐ness Phuong Q. Le, MSW Candidate Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences In its history of discrimination, intellectual disability has always been labeled with a stigma of incompetency and worthlessness. Hindrance to equal opportunities such as education, medical services, or employment further aggravated the population’s vulnerability. International efforts have been made with various levels of success in some countries. However, in many developing countries, the issue has rarely been touched. The case study for this workshop is the disadvantaged status of people, especially children with intellectual disabilities (PID/CID) in Vietnam. The presentation is drawn from the author’s first-‐hand experiences with the population, and analysis regarding social policies and programs (both national, international and UN-‐based). Additionally, accompanied by the discussion, the author will identify strategies through which social workers could be the agent of change for the betterment of PID/CID, focusing on grassroots organizing, advocacy in the community, and utilization of available policies. These strategies are of particular relevance to countries in which (1) social welfare is not in its advanced status; and/or (2) public participation in the political process is not a common practice. A considerable amount of time will be used for discussion, shared experiences and suggestions from all workshop participants.

Launch Your International Career with Peace Corp Anthony Trujillo Regional Recruiter; Returned Volunteer Mongolia, Ukraine Peace Corp Peace Corps is a life-‐defining leadership experience you will draw upon throughout your life. The most significant accomplishment will be the contribution you make to improve the lives of others. This session will highlight the tangible benefits for you personally and professionally. Whether you are just out of college, mid-‐career, or retired, the skills you learn as a Volunteer can help you achieve your goals and enhance your marketability with prospective employers. Peace Corps provides training in a foreign language, technical skills, and cross-‐cultural understanding. This, combined with the experience of living, learning, and working with a community overseas for 27 months, augments any career path especially in global social work. Making Economics Work for Us: A Human Rights and Feminist Perspective Margot Baruch Program Coordinator Center for Women's Global Leadership Ever wonder if the governments could use a better framework to address poverty, inequality and unemployment? Have you considered how certain policies that are overwhelmingly supported by government and corporate interests undermine adequate standards of living and reinforce gender disparities? Economic policy directly affects access to housing, income, healthcare and jobs, and is intrinsically connected to the realization of human rights. Macroeconomic policies (fiscal and monetary) can either serve to enhance or erode people’s enjoyment of basic human rights. The purpose of this workshop is to highlight the links between macroeconomics and human rights in order to better inform discussions about solutions.

From Three Weak Pillars to a New Foundation: Solving global problems through Sustainable Development Anya Briggs, MSW Candidate, Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences C.J. Woods, MSW Candidate, Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences Ever wonder why the world has so many problems or why they are so difficult to overcome? Disease, famine, poverty, earthquakes, infant mortality, war, discrimination, tsunamis, and a growing wealth disparity-‐ as social workers we are well aware of the how these and other tragedies impact humanity, but how often do we stop to consider how they interact with each other? What if the best solutions to some of these global problems lie within their relationships with one another? In this discussion based workshop, participants learn the basics of sustainable development and begin practicing key elements of this approach by collaborating with one another to take their critical thinking skills to the next level. Facilitators will encourage participants to analyze the connections between social, economic, and environmental issues and pursue out of box solutions to problem scenarios. Emphasis is placed on creativity and cross-‐cultural, as well as cross-‐professional partnership. The workshop will conclude with a brief discussion about the crucial role that social workers play as humanitarian efforts spread across professional sectors.

A Call to Action: UN Human Rights Conventions and the Social Work Response Aviva Ron Student Life Coordinator, University of Connecticut Sarah Petela, MSW Project Coordinator, CT Coalition to End Homelessness While the UN Conventions may seem to be a far off and abstract idea, in truth they are some of the most important documents social workers can use within advocacy efforts. In many cases, girls health and well being is the foundation for assessing the rest of society as girls are considered the most vulnerable population. As such, this workshop will be an interactive dialogue about the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and its importance to the field of Social Work. Social workers will explore HOW they can apply international conventions to their own practice.

Speak Your Truth: Empowering Urban Youth through Hip-‐Hop and Spoken Word Cait Miner, MSW Candidate, University of Pennsylvania In this workshop we will explore some of the major challenges facing urban, at-‐risk youth today and discuss the importance of providing vehicles for youth voice and advocacy with particular focus on spoken word poetry and hip hop as platforms for expression, empowerment, and social change. Using several videos as entrance points, we will explore the pressing issues facing youth today and how expression can lead to greater levels of individual and collective transformation. Participants in the workshop will be asked to engage in improvisational activities, writing exercises, small group discussions, and video analysis in order to truly understand how poetry, and in turn other art forms, is an important tool for empowerment.

Preparing Social Work Students for International Careers Andrea Bediako International Program Coordinator Council on Social Work Education The interdisciplinary nature of the field of social work makes its graduates uniquely qualified for international and humanitarian careers. However, due to the increasing popularity of this field, which attracts professionals from a variety of disciplines, it is highly competitive and hiring managers may not immediately recognize the benefits of having a social worker on their staff. This presentation will draw upon research conducted by social work academics who analyzed international job postings to highlight the compatibility of social work skills with humanitarian jobs. Key words and concepts will be identified to include in job applications. This presentation will also examine complimentary skills such as foreign language, topical/regional knowledge, and post-‐graduate educational opportunities that will enhance a social work graduate’s marketability when pursuing an international career. Non-‐Communicable Diseases and UN Advocacy efforts Ariella Rojhani Advocacy Coordinator The NCD Alliance This workshop will discuss non-‐communicable diseases (cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, and other conditions) and the recent UN High-‐level Meeting on NCDs. In this workshop participants will learn how to navigate the UN system as a advocate as well as learn advocacy strategies, capacity building, lessons learned by civil society, and the applicability to the interests of the GSWSC attendees.

A Theory of Social Change: Discussion on how Liberation Theology Parallels Social Work Practice Phillip J. Lovett, BSW University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Social Work This activity will create an open discussion on how liberation theology may aid social workers with empowering their clients in direct service and community practice settings. From Priest Gustavo Gutiérrez’s scholarship of liberation theology, practitioners are more capable to form a positive association between these concepts and the social work profession’s core values. Furthermore, practitioners’ analysis of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. and Archbishop Oscar Romero’s historic application of liberation theology extends a deeper understanding of its ability to empower vulnerable and ostracized communities. Lastly, social workers will discuss strategies on how to introduce this intervention into their professional services. International Social Work in Action: The Practical Field-‐level Application of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) Amy Bess, MSW Senior Practice Associate, Human Rights & International Affairs National Association of Social Workers Every day, social workers are applying their values, principles and skills while working with children in humanitarian aid settings. This session will cover the types of programs that are implemented in humanitarian aid and emergency settings to address the rights of children as outlined in the CRC, the role of social workers in implementing those programs and how international legal frameworks such as the CRC come into play. Participants will engage in active conversation and explore the intersections of social work, culture, tradition, and universal human rights.

Global Movements Using Social Media to Protect Vulnerable Women, Children & Families Soofia Tahir, MSW Candidate Janis McDaid Ikeda, MSW Candidate Patricia Lundgren, MSW Candidate Melanie Krutzel, BSW Candidate Rutgers University School of Social Work This presentation will provide information on global movements and initiatives in social work and social welfare strengthening that are rooted in, or make effective use of, social media. Special emphasis will be placed on initiatives related to human trafficking. The workshop will discuss ways that social media is used by social workers and their agencies, in practice areas such as awareness raising, advocacy, policy influence, service delivery, and information sharing. A number of examples, including Not For Sale, The Girl Effect, Crowdrise, and Women Journalists without Chains, among others, will be discussed. Also covered will be ways that students can get involved in social media based efforts in their personal and professional lives. Refugee Resettlement in the US, the promise of tomorrow, the realities of today Neetu Mahil Program Manager, Child and Youth Protection and Development International Rescue Committee The United States accepts more refugees than any other country in the world, but financial support for those refugees is not nearly adequate. Moreover adpating to a new life in an American city can be immensely difficult for refugees from diverse backgrounds. What role do voluntary organizations like the IRC play in preparing newly arriving refugees for resettlement in the US? This talk will focus on the importance of awareness raising and the crucial role that caseworkers play in helping refugees in their resettlement.

The Juvenile Justice System: A Revolving Door Nicole Grunstein MSW Candidate Touro College There are approximately one million juveniles incarcerated worldwide. Adolescents of today are the voices of tomorrow, delinquents not only have their physical bodies locked up, but their voices as well. Therefore, these rates of incarceration pose a serious problem for community development, civil society, as well as families, individuals and communities. This workshop will focus on the necessity for better reintegration programs that prevent these youth from going through the revolving door of the penal system. A reintegration program should include help with housing, educational opportunities, support groups, and careers for adolescents making their way back into society. This workshop will present data on juvenile incarceration globally, with examples of reintegration programs currently implemented in diverse countries worldwide. We will focus specifically on the role that social workers can play in such programs, including community based programs and services. The workshop will present information about approaches to reintegration in countries and their effectiveness, as well as identifying best practices that may have universal application. Attendees will become informed of the many ways in which social workers are needed in juvenile’s lives during this transitional period and how they can be of assistance in creating reintegration programs that are built on a strengths based perspective. Attendees will also learn about different ways to advocate for juvenile delinquents as a disenfranchised group.

Yeah Man! We Are Jamaica: Cultural Competence in Social Work Samuel J. Hickson MSW Candidate, Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences Since its inception, social work has long stood as a profession built on the philosophy of meeting the client where they are. Largely, this philosophy takes into account the ecological factors, one being culture, that affects the way we as humans behave. Also known as cultural competence, social workers have been trained to recognize how thoughts can be affected by culture. The question which remains is, what does it mean to have cultural competence and how can it be applied in practice? In this workshop we will look into what it means to have cultural competence by looking at a case study of Jamaican popular culture. Specifically, this workshop will look at elements of music, dance, and folklore to help understand cultural competence and the challenges created from looking at these elements from one perspective (i.e. western) versus a global perspective. Additionally, we will examine how the lessons learned from the case study of Jamaica can be applied cross-‐culturally. In this workshop we will challenge our own personal biases by looking at our personal experiences and how they can affect practice. Lastly, this workshop will talk about how to overcome these biases while keeping in mind culture on both a micro and macro level and how social work students can get involved with promoting cultural competence in their own communities.

Social Work in the Contexts of Political and Military Conflicts (Burma/Myanmar Case study) Kyaw Sit Naing BSW Student, University of Wisconsin-‐Madison My presentation focuses on the strategies which social workers can utilize on a variety of levels to address the impact of complicated politics and military conflicts. As a political asylee from Burma, I will point out how civilians suffer emotional and physical stress, fear, competing national and religious identities and other challenges as they fight for their self-‐determination and survival. With a desire to promote human rights and social justice for all who have been impacted, I will share my summer experience of working with Burmese migrants in Thailand as well as my current field work assisting Burmese refugees resettled in Milwaukee, WI. On the macro level, my presentation will also highlight the need to raise the consciousness of social workers about such issues in a world afflicted by violent political and military conflict. Social work students can promote peaceful regime change by joining and supporting efforts of activists groups (laborers, farmers, religious groups, underground media ) in exercising non-‐violence actions, while managing risks of self and others and being cautious about confrontation with the military regime. Even though human needs are high during conflict, social services may be non-‐existent or in decline. If there is regime change, as in the recent Arab Spring uprisings, or when there is positive change occurring such as in Mynamar, social workers have an opportunity to work within the region strengthening social services and civil society.

Women's roles in capacity building: Learning from best practices in the field Marciana Popescu Associate Professor Fordham University This workshop will explore the dimensions of vulnerability affecting women and girls around the world, and identify factors contributing to women's resilience, and the transition from victims to empowered community leaders. Women's empowerment strategies will be explored -‐ discussing the role of women's empowerment in preventing sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and further victimization of women. Beyond the individual stories, we will explore patterns of empowerment, and the larger impact of women on local communities, socio-‐economic development, and preventive large-‐scale strategies of change.
