Overview

We all feel vulnerable at some point in our lives and will rely on the support of others to help us through. As a society, we all share responsibility to support others in their time of need. Kafé Sosial is an inclusive forum where multiple voices unite in informal conversations on the many experiences of vulnerability and of the working lives of services that support us.

Armenian social workers working wth Refugees from Nogoro Karabach

In this episode of Kafe Sosial we revisit the theme of practicing social work in crisis situations. In a previous episode we heard about the closure of the Lachin corridor between Armenia and Nogorno Karabakh, also known as Artsakh. This episode described the blockade of Nogorno Karabakh and the challenges Armenian social workers faced trying to reach and help people trapped there. The day we published this episode in September 2023, and Azeri troops began bombing Nogorno Karabakh leading to a mass exodus of the local population, through the Lachin corridor to safety in Armenia. In this episode, we revisit the social workers of Armenia supporting a population in crisis,Brita Gjerstad , Associate Professor at UIS talks to social workers from Yerevan University in Armenia about what it is like to work in these crisis situations. I denne episoden av Kafe Sosial tar vi opp igjen temaet om å praktisere sosialt arbeid i krisesituasjoner. I en tidligere episode hørte vi om stengingen av Lachin-korridoren mellom Armenia og Nagorno-Karabakh, også kjent som Artsakh. Denne episoden beskrev blokaden av Nagorno-Karabakh og utfordringene armenske sosialarbeidere møtte når de prøvde å nå og hjelpe folk som var fanget der. Den dagen vi publiserte denne episoden i september 2023, begynte aserbajdsjanske tropper å bombe Nagorno-Karabakh, noe som førte til en masseflukt av lokalbefolkningen gjennom Lachin-korridoren til sikkerhet i Armenia. I denne episoden tar vi opp igjen de armenske sosialarbeiderne som støtter en befolkning i krise. Brita Gjerstad, førsteamanuensis ved UIS, snakker med sosialarbeidere fra Yerevan Universitet i Armenia om hvordan det er å jobbe i disse krisesituasjonene.
