ICSW is proud to co-host World Social Work Day 2025 alongside our global, regional, and local partners. This occasion serves as a vital opportunity to recognize the invaluable contributions of social workers—providing essential services, advocating for social justice, and enhancing the well-being of individuals and communities. Social work is a profoundly humanistic and people-centered profession, and social workers deserve recognition not only for their role in social welfare and service provision but also for fostering social cohesion.
In 2025, the celebration in Bangkok, Thailand, on March 24 took place under the theme “Strengthening Intergenerational Solidarity for Enduring Well-being.” This event, along with similar gatherings worldwide, reflects our shared commitment to social welfare and development. We deeply appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with social work networks across the Asia-Pacific region in advancing this mission.
As part of the opening ceremony, we are pleased to share a video address from ICSW President, Dr. Sergei Zelenev, available below.
