I was learning English by listening to ABBA songs. Now I am trying to find out what songs inspire my students to practice social development and social work. Every song on the list was suggested by my students and/or social work educators across Canada, and I still keep adding new songs, so if you have a suggestion, let me know.
Currently, I have compiled the following song playlists based on student suggestions

I will keep collecting songs that inspire individual social workers and also do more thematic collections. If you find any political activism protest songs about Mark Carney let me know and I will start a new playlist!
