Georg Nebel Memorial - On the 18th of March 2020, Georg Nebel died. Georg was not only one of the founding fathers of the German chapter of IASWG, but also of the “German Way” of social work with groups. He served for 7 years on the board. Until his death, he was an active chapter member, contributing constructively to the chapter.
Marty Birnbaum Memorial - It is with great sadness we share that Martin Birnbaum passed away on Saturday, May 9th. Marty was a life member of the IASWG board of directors. We welcome you to share your memories, stories, and photos of Marty by emailing [email protected] or by submitting your recollection to then be shared with our community.
Teaching Group Work Online and in Hybrid Models: We have recently added a section on Teaching Group Work Online. Here you’ll find full syllabi and other resources contributed by IASWG Members. Currently, many of us are moving to online social work education to as an alternative to In Person teaching during the Coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, we are also posting resources that we believe will be valuable immediately.
