Yesterday morning, 2021 Ningbo (Jiangbei) Social Work Publicity Week kicked off in Ningbo Talents House. The activity aimed to promote rural revitalization through gathering the power of social workers.

Social work is a life-impacting profession and the warmest force in social governance and social construction. Social work is the powerhouse for consolidating the fruits of poverty alleviation and facilitating rural revitalization. Ciyuan Post is an employment-assistance social work project run by Cicheng Town Social Workstation last year, which has so far helped more than 150 residents to find suitable jobs for themselves. At present, the project team is focusing its services on helping to promote the integrated development of agriculture and tourism.

This is a miniature of social work helping rural revitalization. It is reported that the city has 10,410 people holding national social workers' professional level certificate, 57 supervisory talents at provincial and municipal levels, 6 national social work service demonstration areas (communities and units), 2 national, provincial and municipal social

work demonstration units, and 50 municipal social work demonstration bases. The city's social workers are devoted themselves to rural service, contributing in serving difficult and special groups, assisting in rural developmental issues, enhancing the capacity of village social organizations, promoting rural cultural construction, and creating sound ecological livability in villages.

The LOGO of Ningbo Social Work was officially released at the event. Orange, the main color of the LOGO, highlights the warmth, vitality and enthusiasm of social work, demonstrating its value concept of "putting people first and helping people to help themselves". The two characters in orange represents social workers. The heart shape between the two characters together with the heart-shaped wave at the bottom represents that Ningbo is a modern port city full of love, and reflects that Ningbo’s social work is built for love, connects the social individuals and communities with heart and promotes the harmonius development of the society.
