Social Care Study Tours
in Scandinavia

Scandinavia's welfare state has been a cornerstone of the region's social support system since the early 20th century. Countries like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark have developed some of the most comprehensive welfare systems in the world. Public and private not-for-profit organizations collaborate to provide a robust safety net for the most vulnerable populations, including children, elderly, homeless individuals, and refugees. The Scandinavian governments have established a comprehensive network of actors who deliver social care, ensuring that social workers operate on a local basis to coordinate solutions for everyone in need. In addition to universal healthcare and generous parental leave policies, these countries prioritize education, housing, and social inclusion as key components of their welfare models. This collaborative approach, deeply rooted in the principles of equality and social solidarity, ensures that all citizens have access to essential social services and support, contributing to the high quality of life and social cohesion characteristic of the region.
