Public shareholders

This initiative on the history of social work was launched in 2010 following the succes of the Dutch-language equivalents for the Netherlands and Flanders. This website is free for users, and always will be. The costs associated with developing the website and writing/editing the contents are carried by a numer of public shareholders. They have an interest in making this information available to the global community of social work.

The Flemish ministry of welfare and the Dutch ministry of welfare provided the initial budget to kick-start this website. The current version is the result of this support.

Organisations interested in providing support for the further development of this initiative are welcomed to contact us at: jan@steyaert.org
