European Group Work Camp

Group Work for Solidarity, Hope and Change

October 10-12, 2025

For years the Groupwork Camp became a tradition within International Association for Social Work with Groups (IASWG), which was held in USA, Canada, UK and continental Europe. The European Groupwork Camp for the third time will take place in Lithuania and will be organized by the Lithuanian chapter (NSDGA) together with IASWG and the Department of Social Work, Vytautas Magnus University.

This unique event offers an opportunity for professional social workers, social pedagogues, psychologists and other professionals interested in groups, researches and students to share their ideas, skills, and experience.

The aim of Groupwork Camp 2025 is to foster personal growth, professional skills, and a sense of belonging through immersive group experiences in a supportive environment. By engaging in creative, reflective, and collaborative activities, participants strengthen trust, resilience, and their capacity to work effectively with groups. As experience from other groupwork camps shows, the remarkable atmosphere contributes to creating a space for multifaceted communication and recognition of different cultures.

The Groupwork Camp team invites you to step out of your daily routine into an inspiring space where you’ll grow both personally and professionally.

Come together. Share hope. Create change.

We warmly invite you to go on this journey of experiences together!
