OPEN LETTER OF PROTEST TO THE CO-CHAIRS OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE (THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF SOCIAL WORKERS’ BI-ANNUAL WORLD CONFERENCE TO HELD IN DUBLIN 4-7 JULY 2018)
“We welcome the global International Federation of Social Workers’ Biannual conference to take place during the summer 2018. This is a very important conference and it is great that it is hosted in Dublin, giving us an opportunity to discuss, learn and network. However, we are deeply concerned about the registration fee being imposed. A fee of between €575 and €775 is far too high and does not even include the cost of accommodation. In Dublin, this is presently on average in excess of €130 each night. Travel costs are also excluded. The fee reflects neoliberal values and not the more progressive values of social work. Service users, students, retired practitioners and current practitioners simply cannot afford these costs. Neither can many academics. The event risks becoming an elitist showcase gathering for the privileged. We are also concerned about the way the inflated costs exclude those based in ‘austerity’ hit countries such as Greece, and further afield, in the Global South. Colleagues from low income countries with rising levels of inequality and budget cuts will be entirely excluded because of the fees, accommodation and travel costs. Similarly, many in Ireland are still suffering from hardships because of the bail out of the banks and continuing ‘austerity’. The homeless numbers are also rising daily. As social workers we constantly deal with the consequences of social inequalities. The conference, its costs, values and politics must reflect all of these issues. We are, therefore, calling on the Scientific Committee and associated conference organisers to immediately reduce the registration fee in order to make the event more inclusive”.
