The challenge of standardising social work education remains a much-discussed but under-documented issue, particularly in developing and less-developed countries. Existing literature often emphasises the need for student-centred learning but lacks a comprehensive examination of how students can shape curricula, lesson plans and teaching methods in cooperation with educators.

This edited volume brings together leading scholars from across the Global North and South to explore the co-creation of social work curricula. Through case studies from New Zealand, Italy, Slovenia, Rwanda, Georgia, Spain, India, Portugal, Indonesia, Nepal and China, it highlights the roles of students, international collaboration and academic partnerships in producing responsive and effective social work education.

With invaluable practical insights, this book provides core guidance for developing a curriculum that equips future social workers with the skills to meet global challenges in an evolving professional landscape.

Rajendra Baikady is Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Work at the Central University of Kerala and Senior Research Associate in the Department of Social Work and Community Development at the University of Johannesburg.
