TISSA

The international 'Social Work & Society' Academy (TiSSA) is an independent cooperation between European universities, institutes and organizations... TiSSA was built up in 2002 as result of an European TEMPUS-TACIS-Project by the initiative of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Hans-Uwe Otto (Bielefeld University, Germany), Doz. Dr. Olga Borodkina (St. Petersburg State University, Russia), Prof. Dr. Walter Lorenz (Free University of Bolzano, Italy) and Prof. Dr. John Harris (University of Warwick, Great Britain) to enhance and promote the international scientific and professional discourse about Social Work and its relation to society, especially against the background of fundamental transformations of 'the social' in the context of globalization. Since the first TiSSA Plenum in 2003 in St. Petersburg, Russia, the network has grown and effectuated a broad international connection for a critical discourse about social professions... As such, TiSSA provides a forum for involving professionals..
