Contribute to the book: Teaching and Learning Ecosocial work

The book 'Teaching and Learning Ecosocial work' invites conventional full-length articles (6,000-7,500 words including references) and shorter policy commentaries or policy and/or practice papers (4,000 words including references) as well as creative pieces, such as poetry or visual illustrations. The contributions should address the previously described issues in social work theory and practice particularly from the teaching, learning, and application point of view.

What kind of new thinking and skills does ecosocial work require from current and future social workers and how are, or how could these be taught, practised, and learned? The inputs to the book may cover analyses of existing curriculum and teaching methods, experiences of learning and of actual practices, such as of hands-on collaboration with various communities or groups, as well as future visions.
