Different aspects of child welfare will be discussed broadly in 6 plenum lessons and 24 optional sessions. Participants can also choose from 13 different site visits.

Speakers come from all the Scandinavian countries: Finland, Sweden, Norway,
Denmark and Iceland. Swedish and the other Scandinavian languages are the
official languages of the conference, but in every set of optional sessions and
site visits there are one or two sessions in English too. Many Scandinavian
colleagues do speak English, so during the congress and the social events it is
also possible to make professional contacts and have discussions in English.

6-9th June
2001

AIEJI (otherwise known as L'Association Internationale des Educateurs Sociaux) is holding its Fifteenth World Congress from 6 - 9 June 2001 at Barcelona in Spain. The working languages for the Congress will be English, French, Spanish (the three official AIEJI languages) and Catalan.

The theme is Ethics and Quality in Socio-educational Work, and the aims of the Congress are to look at the conditions essential to enable social educators to do a good job, to consider the diversity of values found in most cultures, and to consider the role of ethics in socio-educational practice.

AIEJI Congresses take place every four years and they tend to attract several hundred people involved in the care and education of children and young people, including quite a few delegates from developing countries in Africa and Central and South America as well as those involved more frequently in such events from Europe and North America. The United Kingdom is very badly represented in most AIEJI events, and there is much that delegates from this country could learn from participation.

Early registration is recommended before 1 January 2001. That may sound a long way off, but anyone interested in running a workshop should get in touch now. The Congress Secretary is to be found at : Suport Serveis, Calvet 30-32, 08021 Barcelona, Spain. Tel. 0034 93 2017571. Fax 0034 93 2019789. E-mail suport@deinfo.es

And, by the way, the prices are all in Euros.
