112 | Placing Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work Knowledge within an International Social Work Programme Author/s Margaret McKenzie-Davidson Polytechnic This paper discusses the contribution Aotearoa New Zealand based social work discourses of participatory child and family social work practices and the teaching of these can make to international social work programmes. It arises from my experiences as part of a small group of social work educators from ANZ, Australia and Norway teaching on an International Masters of Family Social Work at the University of Stavanger, Norway under the auspices of the Erasmus Mundus programme. This programme is a cooperation programme in higher education that aims to enhance the quality of European higher education and to promote dialogue and understanding between people and cultures through mobility and academic cooperation. I explore the contribution of Aotearoa New Zealand social work knowledge of participatory child and family social work practices to child welfare and the styles of teaching these concepts we use with regard to how these challenge the dominant discourses of child protection social work practices and teaching internationally. Includes discussion of the groups identification of key elements and practices for participatory co-constructed social work in child welfare-social welfare from an ANZ perspective and how these can be used and applied for effective family social work in other national contexts. 113 | Success for Pasifika Students at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Author/s: Jay Ikiua Te Wananga o Aotearoa The purpose of this paper is to explore the achievement of Pasifika success to date at Te Wānanga of Aotearoa (TWoA).
