Spring School for Master- and PhD Students in Social Work in Europe 2011
The 5th annual International Spring School of Social Work was held on April 26-29, 2011 with the participation of 10 academics and 31 students from FSS OU and its partner universities in Cologne and Eichstätt (Germany), Hertfordshire (England), Kuopio (Finland), Trnava (Slovakia), Poznań (Poland) and Lille (France). The organizational side of the event – including board and lodging services – was again provided by the VŠB–Technical University of Ostrava, and everything ran smoothly to the satisfaction of all involved. The main focus of the agenda was the presentation of students’ papers based on their diploma theses or doctoral dissertations. The program was enriched by a lecture given by doc. RNDr. Ivana Loučková, CSc. on research in social sciences and by other inspirational presentations by professors from abroad. After this demanding and specialised program, everyone had a chance to unwind at a dinner in one of the restaurants on Stodolní Street and at a performance of Falstaff. The academics from the partner universities appreciated the excellent quality of the theses and dissertations presented by the students. Students, on the other hand, welcomed as beneficial the feedback provided by academics and the opportunity to discuss the topics of their work and how to approach or deal with these topics with professionals from various countries in an informal environment.
