This summer I had a unique opportunity to visit multiple locations in Ukraine and map all the Schools of Social Work in my birth country. I want to thank Yaryna Ivashchyshyn for all her work in putting each Ukrainian Social Work School location on the Google Map: Schools of Social Work Around the World

IMG_0562.JPGI started my visit to Ukraine from attending the conference in Lutsk and visiting Schools of Social Work in Східноєвропейський національний університет ім. Л. Українки [Lesya Ukrainka Eastern European National University] and  Луцький інститут розвитку людини університету “Україна” (ЛІРоЛ) [Lutsk Institute of Human Development, University “Ukraine”]. Then I had some time in my birth city Lviv and visited my home University: Національний університет «Львівська політехніка» (НУ «ЛП») [Lviv Polytechnic National University] and had a pleasant visit with my former teachers and current colleagues Drs Nina Haiduk, Sonya Stavkova, Tetyana Shapovalova and Liliya Klos (on photo).

IMG_1255.JPGI also received a special invitation to visit Черкаський національний університет ім. Хмельницького (ЧНУ) [Bohdan Khmelnytsky National University of Cherkasy] where I was conducting a number of live web conferences over the last three years and spent time visiting with local social work educators and learning about social work in the heart of Ukraine (Cherkasy is situated in the Central Part of Ukraine on the Dnipro River). Thank you to Dr. Svitlana Arkhipova (on photo) for all your support. I am looking forward to continuing our collaboration for many years to come!

Here is the list of all Schools of Social Work in Ukraine. The list includes more than 60 schools that are more than 20 times increase from 1999 when I started my social work educational journey.

Ukraine has a lot of new developments in social work education. I am glad to have very strong ties with my birth country through direct connection with local social work educators. I am also proud to represent Ukraine as a life member of the International Association of Schools of Social Work.
