INSPIRARE Global is an international initiative funded by the Council on Social Work Education’s Katherine A. Kendall Institute to expand global perspectives in the U.S. social work education.
The project’s overarching goal is to create platforms that serve a global hub for social work educators, students, and professionals, and create a space to exchange knowledge, challenge dominant narratives, and develop decolonized, cross-cultural approaches to social work.
