About the conference
The conference topic anticipates humanity’s future after the COVID-19 epidemic. It investigates the role of all human services in making the world a better place. This conference relies on intrinsic abilities that people use in their rehabilitation as they rebuild hope from shattered pieces. The conference allows for creative and innovative thinking, as well as the exploration of out-of-the-box solutions for a lively, resilient, and hopeful future. The seminar will focus on two simple questions: (1) What worked for us prior to the pandemic? (2) Where have we fallen short? And (3) what appears to be a pathway now and for the future?
The conference discussions should, hopefully, centre on the fundamental alterations required for social change engagement and goals. Crisis-induced collaborative creativity, innovation, and transformation that we have all seen provides great narratives.
COVID-19 has surprised everyone. It has devastated global health, society, and economy. Most countries enforced face masks, social distancing, and border closures. An opportunity therefore for us to undertake an -depth review of the pandemic response: Specifically, in all our societies what worked? What is that we need to improve? Or invent?

Telehealth, seems to be emerging as a potential solution for healthcare systems that are already overburdened and looking for ways to increase clinical volume while lowering costs, was put to the test during the pandemic and emerged with little resistance.
Entrepreneurial social activism
Social entrepreneurship is a prosocial motivation leading to a prosocial favourable social consequences. What have
noticed around you during the pandemic brought about? new adaptations> New social arrangements? In what ways have corporations and social entrepreneurs come to embrace one another’s resources in order to address societal issues? When making personal protective equipment (PPE) like plastic shields and ventilators, etc., how did private companies overcome their self-interest and come up with solutions that benefited the public good, regardless of the reasons that drove them in the beginning? Distillers of all sizes and in a number of countries came forwards and made the transition from producing whisky to producing and distributing hand sanitizer at prices that were lower than their costs. On a similar note has private practice in social work and allied health respond in this area? What experiences can we share with each other?
Climate change
Do you see that people care more about the environment now than before? or they are more focused on their own well-being, and rising costs of living. Can ‘awe’ change our perception of self and open us to new possibilities and even help save the planet?
