The international 'Social Work & Society' Academy - TiSSA 2006
Serving Citizens. Sustaining Civil Society as Social Work Issue
4 th annual TiSSA Plenum August 27 to 30, 2006 &
PreConference of the PhD-Network August 24 to 26, 2006 in Kaunas, Lithuania
Host Institution: Kaunas University of Technology, Institute of Educational Studies


The Baltic state of Lithuania is one of the new European member states. It represents the post-soviet challenges of the development of a democratic republic. It was thereby an adequate place for the discussion about welfare systems in transforming societies.

During the TiSSA Plenum and PreConference of the PhD-Network more than 120 colleagues from 17 different countriesm including about 50 PhD-students discussed in plenary sessions, panel debates and working groups the current developments and challenges in the social professions. Field visits gave the opportunity to meet colleagues from Lithuania and to learn about their approaches and projects of social work. The social program made it possible to get an idea of the conditions of daily life and to visit tourist attractions - also in Vilnius.

Based on the inquisitiveness and engagement of the participants and the work of all the colleagues and student volunteers from KTU and the local organizing committee, TiSSA on tour was again a challenging and successful experience, that is to be continued.
