2012 IAPOP Conference

Worldwork: Bridging worlds and facilitation methods: 27-29 April: Zurich, Switzerland

In 2012 Processwork is celebrating its 30th anniversary. The Research Society for Process Oriented Psychology (FG POP) was founded in Zurich in 1982 and we are celebrating by hosting the 2012 IAPOP Conference in Zurich.

Our goal is to show Worldwork as a method applicable to many different fields and to create a space for an exchange between representatives and practicioners of different methods and paradigms. Our aim is to deepen and focus the existing know-how within the field of facilitation and conflict work, to find synergies and to work on common visions and initiatives across disciplines.

 

The conference will focus on three hot spots:

Hot Spot: Planet Visions and Strategies for Coexistence on our Planet.

	• Key Note:	Drs. Arnold and Amy Mindell	Process Oriented Ecology: New ways of getting along with people, the biosphere, planets and the solar system.
