International Days in Social Work in Austria – I had the amazing opportunity to go to Austria and attend the International days of the social

work program. During this time I was able to attend a variety of lectures from experienced

people all over the world. Through participation, and discussion I was able to highlight my own

personal experiences as an indigenous person living in Mi’kma’ki, and the needs, and barries

for indigenous folk in Canada.

With this opportunity, I learned what other countries are doing to eliminate boundaries, further

education in social work, and so much more!

With my free time I built a strong connection with others from all around the world where I see

myself continuing the relationship, and to be able to network with in the future. From going out

to restaurants, and bars to visiting beautiful historical buildings, and landscape. Austria is rich in

history! From the Schönbrunn Palace and Hofburg Palace both in Vienna if your into Marie

Antoinette . Or even the trip to Salzburg where many of sound of music was recorded!
