International Network of Social Street workers : meeting of the Pilot Group on 14, 17 and June 18, 2010 in Pamplona, Spain
Véronique Martin, travailleuse sociale à Dynamo International - 16 August 2010Dynamo International coordinates the International Network and every two years, the pilot group composed of the coordinators of national platforms, meets to make decisions and build together new working prospects.
In June, during the assembly, the pilot group voted the adhesion of new members. The International Network of Africa, Asia, America (south-central-north) and Europe have now 42 member countries.
Since its creation, the evolution of the International Network and its number of members show that street workers around the world need to unite (to federate) for a legitimate recognition of their work, which allow to relay the voice of the most disadvantaged children, impoverished populations, people in situations of social exclusion. But also for the exchange and sharing of experiences, thoughts and methods of work and consolidate an important focus: training course in street work.
In addition, the pilot group is planning to build alliances with research institutes of street work and youth work. Indeed researchers and experts draw their data from field and field workers use the results of these studies to reflect on their praxis. This is a dynamic movement of wealth shared both at practical and theoretical level and can only have meaningful effects on the social action of these actors.
In addition, the pilot group has reaffirmed its willingness to challenge the national and international authorities on policy measures to be taken to stop the phenomena of poverty, political and social violence, stigmatisation and exclusion.
The 2nd International Forum of Street workers to be held in Brussels from 26 to 30 October 2010 will bring together politicians, civil society players and street workers around fifty countries. The latters, following their participation in numerous workshops and conferences, will publicly present their recommendations to the Belgian, European and International public authorities.
Can these recommendations bring a social change and contribute to the construction of a real social justice and the respect of the human rights, fundamental values of street work.
