International Spring School of Social Work in Europe 2019 for Master's and doctoral students
The 13th International Spring School of Social Work was held from 9–12 April 2019 for the first time in the newly reconstructed faculty building in the city center. The event featured a total of 57 participants, of whom 39 were from universities outside the Czech Republic – Eichstätt, Koblenz, Bremen, Landshut (Germany), Hertfordshire (UK), Trnava (Slovakia), Lille, Strasbourg, Metz (France), Dornbirn (Austria), Moscow, Rostov on Don (Russia) and Łódź (Poland). We also welcomed Erasmus+ students from Russia, South Korea and Slovakia.
The programme focused mainly on students' presentations based on their Master's or doctoral dissertations, accompanied by discussions with academics, group and individual consultations. The students welcomed the feedback from the academics and the opportunity to discuss the topics of their dissertations with experts from various countries in an informal and supportive environment. As part of the accompanying programme, participants had the opportunity to enjoy an opera performance of Juliette or the Key of Dreams.
As in previous years, the programme included 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' (currently in its final sustainability phase). The workshop took the form of a research afternoon featuring prof. Brian Littlechild from UK on the topic 'Academic Writing and Research' and Prof. Mariusz Granosik from Poland on the topic 'Research in social work – Narrative grounded theory'.
