Building Trust Through Social Work on Social Media

Social media is becoming an increasingly important arena for engagement, information sharing, and influence.

This workshop explores how social work can be practiced on digital platforms and how trust can be built and maintained when engaging with communities, young people, and other target groups.

Through sharing experiences and discussion, participants will examine opportunities, challenges, and promising practices for relationship-building and communication in digital spaces.
