During the discussion, Professors Kim Nørbygaard and Nora Elmatari focused on the importance of social work, presenting and comparing the systems and practices of Scandinavian countries with those of Kosovo. Attention was given to the organisation of social services, professional practices, and the challenges faced by social workers.
