Conferences
CIF hosts a conference every other year with a theme related to an important and topical social work practice. It is also an event to celebrate one another and highlight new ideas for supporting individuals and communities around the world.
These conferences generally provide 2 days of lectures, workshops, and site visits to local NGOs and social work agencies. The rest of the time is shared with reuniting with alumni from the various CIF/CIP programs, as well as visiting a cultural site or engaging in a cultural activity.
Conferences generally last a week. Usually, there are post-tour offers in the host country.
The next conference will be held on 27th-31st October 2027 at the European University in Cyprus.
