Spring School for Master’s and PhD Students in Social Work in Europe 2014
The 8th annual International Spring School of Social Work was held on 8th-11th April 2014 on the premises of the VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava. Out of a total 53 participants, 25 were from universities outside the Czech Republic – from Eichstätt and Landshut (Germany), Hertfordshire (UK), Kuopio (Finland), Trnava (Slovakia), Lille (France), Dornbirn (Austria) and Lodz (Poland).
The programme was devoted to the presentation of students’ papers based on their doctoral dissertations or diploma theses, discussions with teachers, group and individual consultations. The opportunity to meet and discuss with academics from various countries in an informal, friendly environment and to receive valuable feedback from them is vital for all participants in this event.
As in previous years, this year's Spring School was followed by lectures and a workshop held as part of the project "Enlargement and Development of the Research Team at the Faculty of Social Studies, University of Ostrava" (VEDTYM). These included a research afternoon enti-tled "Biographic/Narrative Research Methods in Social Work" coordinated by Prof. Kaja Kazmierska and Dr. Katarzyna Waniek from the University of Lodz, a methodological work-shop by Doc. RNDr. Ivana Loučkova entitled "Teaching Research by Research", and a re-search afternoon entitled "Participatory/Action Research" given by Prof. Emmanuel Jovelin from the Catholic University of Lille.
