Asia Pacific Social Work Conference 2025 – Colombo, Sri Lanka

The Social Work Conference 2025 marks a major milestone as the 28th Asia Pacific Conference on Social Work. It will welcome over 300 participants from across the Asia-Pacific region. The conference will take place in Colombo, Sri Lanka, at the iconic Bandaranayake Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH) and the Taj Samudra Hotel. Together, these venues offer world-class facilities for learning, discussion, and collaboration.

The conference focuses on the timely and critical theme, “Social Work Responses to Climate Change and Other Environmental Issues.” Today, climate change increasingly affects vulnerable communities across the region. Therefore, social workers play a crucial role in promoting climate justice and strengthening community resilience. In addition, they contribute to shaping environmentally sustainable policies and practices. This conference creates a vital platform to examine how social work can respond effectively to environmental degradation and climate-related challenges.

Moreover, participants will engage in a dynamic and well-structured programme. It includes keynote addresses, panel discussions, parallel sessions, and interactive workshops. These sessions will present innovative practices, evidence-based research, and practical tools. As a result, participants can apply these insights directly to social work education, policy development, and frontline practice. The conference also promotes strong regional and international collaboration among practitioners, academics, researchers, and institutions.

Furthermore, the event goes beyond academic exchange. It offers valuable networking opportunities, meaningful cultural experiences, and professional connections. At the same time, it highlights Sri Lanka’s growing reputation as a regional hub for international conferences. Colombo, in particular, combines modern infrastructure with rich cultural heritage. Consequently, it provides an ideal setting for this important gathering.
