Where we start

The term „crisis” is one of the most popular words of the still very young 21st century. The global world order is crumbling, socio-economic divides are opening and the intermingling of different ways of living is ever increasing. Values, cultures and worldviews that seem incompatible are colliding, traditional role models are breaking up and have to be renegotiated.

The question of how social transformation and change can be facilitated is becoming increasingly a crucial one in many places: In the public sphere, in politics, in social institutions and organisations. The effects of inadequate facilitation have become more expensive and scary. That is, methods and strategies are needed that enable people to deal constructively with tensions, resistances, fears and conflicts. The challenge to learn how to develop and apply sustainable methods for dealing with social tensions is a matter of concern for us all: as citizens, as workers and leaders in companies, as members of teams and families and as individuals.

Vision for the Conference

With this conference we create a forum in order to make sustainable methods for dealing with processes of transformation more known and useful for an interested public. By assembling international key figures who deal with the social challenges of our times we offer a sustainable contribution for the further development of creative forces in this field.

Organization

The conference is organized by the IPA (Institute for Process Work Zurich) and the IAPOP (International Society for Process-oriented Psychology). Process Work represents the Worldwork method, a facilitation method and a theory for dealing with social change. As host for this conference we are interested in finding synergies, exchanging know-how and to support global visions and initiatives in order to develop them further and make them useful for specific applications.

Target Groups

The conference is aimed at professionals and other participants who are interested in the questions of how to live and work together today and how to deal with current social tensions and conflicts. As we have intentionally invited a great variety of people we are looking for participants who are curious and open to a diversity of approaches and methods.

This is an international conference, the presentations will be held in German and in English (with simultaneous translations).
