Seeking Social Good: A Life Worth Living - Volume 5: Working With International Organisations

In pursuit of social good, the author worked with international social welfare and social work bodies – additional to the periods of living and working overseas covered in the previous volume. Chairing the Preconference Working Party in Manila in I970 for the international social welfare body proved to be a catalyst for this international work. The present volume provides an account of his subsequent work with the International Council on Social Welfare and the International Association of Schools of Social Work, the global social welfare and social work education bodies, and with more specialised bodies like Rehabilitation International, ECAFE/UNICEF, the Social Welfare Development Centre for Asia and the Pacific, and the International Federation on the Ageing. A career highlight was the first Eileen Younghusband Memorial Lecture in 1984, arguing an urgent need for a reflective universal morality.
