TELL YOUR STORY.
You really should know that the impact you have is phenomenally important in the lives of people in need.

THE EVENT
A volunteer is a person who works for an organisation without being paid. Helping, assisting, supporting. Working in this field for many years showed us, that volunteers often are in a very exposed and insecure environment and in emergency situations. Often frustrated and left alone.
We see in The SocialWorkHUB event a platform that actually tells your stories! Only when we identify and verify the workspaces and fields of volunteering we as organisation can really benefit from your support, skills and kindness. It’s not just about war, catastrophes, displacement, refugees, human trafficking, exclusion of society. It is about you as an individual giving back to society. It’s about our human existence, response, humanity.
You want to do something and that something can be a little or a lot. But you have to do something. We know that there are many volunteers out there who support and assist also our work. If you want to do huge amount of very small amounts together with us join the CONTEST! It makes a difference. Only when you tell your story, people can listen.
We are glad to be a part of it and we would really like to thank everybody that supports the event. The SocialWorkHUB therefore is pleased to invite you to participate in a “contest” in the framework of your amazing storytelling, which will take place in Vienna on 23rd & 24th February 2023. This “contest” will determine which of you will address the guests at the conference in person. YES, in person, in Vienna, Austria! We are looking forward to your participation, which we hope will be massive, because it is about you and your work for people in need.
