Dear Friends,
Greetings from NAPSWI.
We are passing through an uncertain period caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Like others,
students are also one of the affected parties. As we know, the students of social work have to
undergo rigorous Fieldwork practicum and classroom learning along with many other learning
pedagogies such as orientation programme, agency visit, concurrent field practicum,
workshops, rural camps, group work, and others. The entire teaching-learning process has
come to a standstill at the moment, the placements and employment are marred.
There are many webinars for academic purposes, knowledge sharing, capacity building but
there is hardly any dedicated programme for confidence building especially for the students of
social work who are passing through uncertainties and other psychosocial issues.
Since this pandemic has put several questions before the student community, NAPSWI has
planned to organise an online interactive series for the students and termed it as NAPSWI
WEBISODES for Social Work Students. This series of Webisodes is primarily intended to
highlight the students’ issues, concerns and challenges amidst and post COVID-19 in general
and social work students in particular. We intend to bring out the possible answers to the
student’s queries.
NAPSWI WEBISODES for Social Work Students will be held between 5th August to 12th of
August, 2020. As its maiden effort to address the issues and concerns of students and young
professionals, we will bring the social work educators, practitioners, and employers on one
platform. The episodes will be 60 to 90 minutes on a video conferencing platform. The series
will cover personal and professional queries on one hand and it will develop the problem-solving
skills, knowledge, motivation, and informative dialogue on the other. These webisodes are organized by the students and we invite you to participate in this. This would be an opportunity
to seek answers to your query, issue, or concerns directly.
If you are interested to participate, then, please write to us [email protected]
Please mention your name, course, institution, and YOUR Query. We will include your questions
in the programme and also arrange best-suited experts for your queries. Please send your
questions to be included in the programme in the enclosed form.
Awaiting your response and participation.
Best wishes
