Events and Seminars

This Congress will provide a platform for investigation, analysis and dialogue of issues and processes that affect all of us regardless of our ethnic, cultural, political similarities or differences.

We need to continue to raise our consciousness about such global issues as trauma, poverty, hunger, war and natural disasters. Therefore the conference will focus on:

1. The emotional impact of man-made and natural disasters: How does trauma, mourning and the transgenerational transmission of chosen traumas and glories impact on people? (Clinical experience and investigation).

2. Humanity on the move: How do human rights violations through globalization, migration, exile, persecution, torture and sexual violence impact emotionally on people? (Clinical experience and investigation.

3. Authority and power: How can consultancy, coaching, training and capacity building enhance people’s capacity to function in institutions with humanity? (Health management and investigation.

4. Love, life and labor in a virtual world: How do people (men, women, children, adolecents, young adults, elderly, handicapped, rich and poor) in places (mega-cities and remote parts of the world) use internet-based communication to relate to one another? How does this affect their emotional capacity to love, to work and to communicate with others, such as in therapy, in consultancy, in trainings, in school, in workshops and in their daily lives? (Clinical experience and investigation

5. In addition to these issues, there will be a special highlight, offering open experiential groups inside and outside the conference and in public places of the city.
