What kind of world do we want? The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals describe one vision of a world which respects rights, shares prosperity and protects the planet: a world in which no-one has been left behind.  Every member state of the UN has endorsed that vision.

That vision is also endorsed by the International Federation of Social Workers, who have made it their theme for World Social Work Day 2022.  To celebrate WSWD 2022, the AASW conducted a webinar for its members.  It discussed the SDG’s and the theme  of “Leaving no-one behind”; and what both of these mean for us in Australia.

This is an edited recording of that webinar, so you will hear references to slides and written questions submitted by the audience. (At the time of the webinar we were anticipating that a Federal Election will be called soon in Australia).  The webinar started with an introduction of our guest, Linda Ford.
