But how can we evolve our practices? How can we integrate innovative approaches to enhance social work interventions and amplify their impact?
Social work goes beyond traditional methods—it thrives on creative practices that foster expression, resilience, and social connection. Embracing innovation means expanding the possibilities of support and offering solutions that align with today’s realities.
With this in mind, the Social Work Day, taking place on March 19, 2025, at the University of Ottawa, invites participants to explore new ways of intervening. Through immersive workshops, attendees will discover how creative approaches can enrich social work and open new perspectives:
- Playback Theatre – When personal stories come to life on stage, creating a space for expression and shared experiences.
- Creative Journaling – A method combining writing and drawing to encourage introspection and communication.
- Dance Therapy – Using movement as a tool for well-being, emotional exploration, and deeper connections with oneself and others.
- Sandplay Therapy – A symbolic and playful approach that taps into the subconscious, offering an alternative way to support individuals.
Whether you are a social work professional, a student, or simply interested in the field, this day is a unique opportunity to connect, find inspiration, and explore new practices. Through interactive workshops and engaging discussions, participants will leave with concrete tools to enhance their interventions and rethink the way they provide support.
