Sociometric Investigation around topics for a common project
2022-05-30 17:00 - 20:00
The International Committee of our Association invites all members to join the meeting:
“Sociometric Investigation around topics for a common project”, May 30 @ 5-8 p.m. CET.
Questions can be send to the chairs of the International Committee Manfred Jannicke and Gerda Mävers via ic@psychodrama-for-europe.eu
Working together internationally is one of, if not the greatest strength of our organisation. Acting together is a pleasure and can increase togetherness and attract new members.
One of the mandates from the last General Assembly was to develop and implement one or more such projects, preferably externally funded.
In the International Committee we have prepared this thoroughly and are very happy that we could win Jacomien Ilbrink to conduct an action sociometric study with us and you. On 30.5.2022, we want to present the interim results of our work to you and, with Jacomien’s help, try to form working groups that will then further prepare such international cooperations (with or without external funding), apply for them with the help of the Board (if necessary), and carry them out.
Would you like to contribute to this?
Can you imagine investing some time and energy in such a project and profiting from it for your work or your institute?
We mean all of You!
Psychodrama trainees form the first level on, all teachers and institutes, our whole community. So, Leaders of the institutes – please forward this invitation to everyone who trained or trains with you!
Until then, warm greetings and a happy May from the preparation team:
Gerda Mävers, Manfred Jannicke, Jacomien Ilbrink and Johanna Olberding

28th FEPTO Annual Meeting "Mind The Body - Exploring the Soma through Psychodrama"
2022-05-15 08:00 - 2022-05-19 19:00 | Ohrid, Nordmazedonien
Ohrid, North Macedonia, 15th – 19th of May, 2022

INVITATION
Dear Colleagues and Members of the FEPTO Community,
In the context of the FEPTO Council Meeting in Dave last month, it was decided that FEPTO 28th Annual Meeting 2022 to be held in person in Ohrid from the 15th to the 19th of May.
The topic of AM is the same like before “Mind the Body, Exploring the Soma through Psychodrama”.
The pandemic caused a long-lasting global crisis that strongly affected the functioning of each person, both physically and mentally. It affected all aspects of human functioning: cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects, and at the same time strongly influenced the social environment bringing major changes.
The long-lasting pressure exerted by these social, political, economic and health changes has led people to exhaust their coping mechanisms. Living during these two years in crisis required people to constantly adapt to new situations and information, therefore reducing their ability to adapt. This will globally and directly affect people’s mental health, which will cause severe physical symptoms.
Nikos Takis, ex president of FEPTO, and Chantal Nave, ex vice president, when writing in the invitation to AM 2020, seems as if they predicted the future and the occurrence of the pandemic. They emphasized the importance of the role that psychodrama has in helping to manage the mental and physical consequences of a pandemic.
The rationale behind this choice is that we would like to shed more light on the importance of the participation of the body in the psychodramatic process. Psychodrama, in contrast to many other approaches in psychotherapy and group work possesses the advantage of using, addressing and activating the whole psychosomatic entity of the individual. This is one more reason for its efficacy in relatively short periods of time. The majority among us are well aware of the significance and the effectiveness of bodily activities. Jacob Levy Moreno in his role theory, considered that the first roles we assume in our lives are the somatic, bodily ones. However, we deem that this topic has not been discussed and elaborated sufficiently. Therefore, we decided to focus in this important aspect of our work for this year, have exchanges and find ways to integrate it in our training and our practice.

FEPTO Online Conference: Encounters in the Online Surplus Reality
2022-05-14 08:00 - 17:00
FEPTO Conference/Online
Encounters in the Online Surplus Reality

First Online FEPTO Conference: Call for Proposals!
Dear Colleagues and Members of the FEPTO Community,
We gladly announce the First Online FEPTO Conference, which will be held on Friday, the 14th of May 2021. We invite you to submit your proposals for online workshops and/ or lectures!
“Encounters in the Online Surplus Reality”.
The unprecedented experience of the Covid-19 pandemic was very challenging for all of us. The reality in which we live and work has changed dramatically over the last year. We were forced to postpone both FEPTO Conference and Annual Meeting. Our psychodramatic activities, practice and training, have transitioned to the virtual environment of online platforms. This transition generates a new experience for us and our groups. The virtual reality of the internet, may be considered like an alternative form of the surplus reality that is created in psychodrama. The surplus reality we encounter in the psychodrama becomes
parallel to the reality of everyday life. It is enough to take our eyes off the screen, and we can turn it on or off. The aim of this Conference is to explore the experience of the online psychodramatic encounters and provide opportunities for exchanges on this topic, between the members of our community.
It will be a one-day conference, and will consist of online workshops and lectures.
The workshops will last 90 minutes.
The lectures will last 30 minutes, followed by a 15-minutes discussion.
To apply, you need to fill out the attached form. Please submit the completed forms by March 31st. Please send your proposals by email at FEPTOonline@gmail.com
The program of the Conference will be announced on April 10. Then there will be a call for participants to choose a workshop and lecture. There will not be a registration fee. The FEPTO Online Conference will be free of charge.
Please send your proposals on FEPTOonline@gmail.com
With our warmest psychodramatic wishes,
Mimi-Mirjana J. Stojanovska and the Local Organizing Committee of N. Macedonia

One-day online "Un-Conference" - Surfing the Waves
2021-09-25 10:00 - 18:00
We are looking forward to seeing you at the Un-Conference and hereby cordially invite you to
“Surfing the Waves”
September 25th, 2021
@10-13 and 15-18 CET
Fee: 15,00€ +
Registration here
Hosts: Irina Stefanescu and Jacomien Ilbrink
€15+ means a minimum of €15 plus a donation, if you want. This donation will be reinvested in our projects.
Psychodrama requires to be fully in the moment, attuned to whatever happens and act agile to what is, just like surfing the waves. As psychodramatists we often come with a plan, prepare a warm-up and then let the magic happen!
Therefore we thought it a fun and appropriate challenge to organize an online Un-Conference, which requires to be fully present and spontaneous to what is in the moment and take it from there.
The theme also invites us to explore how we can develop even more resilience as psychodramatists, how we can make psychodrama even more visible within the challenges of stormy pandemics.
While ‘normal’ conferences come with an agenda, Un-Conferences come without one. The program is shaped by the participants on the day of the event. So, you never really know what to expect. Only one thing is for sure: prepare to be surprised! The Unconference relies on spontaneity, good will, cooperation and responsible freedom to learn and contribute. Out of many possibilities to facilitate such an event, we chose mainly the Open Space Technology and some other additional formats.
After an initiating warm-up by your hosts, in the marketplace, everybody who feels called to initiate a session can claim time and virtual space to host a workshop or a conversation on topics that matter to them. However, you might also already come with a plan, maybe about something about psychodrama that is dear to you and that you would like to find out or experiment with. You might also want to conduct a psychodrama online and get participants for your offer.
This is your opportunity!
We all indicate our interest sociometrically for the emerging proposed workshops and the discussions, organised in two time slots.
Attendees can host and participate in as many sessions as they like and can even freely move between sessions that are hosted at the same time, when the workshop leaders accept this.
When the second round ends, we gather again all together for conclusions regarding the discussions and for the final sharing about the event.
We guide ourselves by the 4 principles of the Unconferences:
· Whoever comes are the right people.
· Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened.
· Whenever it starts is the right time.
· When it is over it is over.
And we encourage you all to embrace the Law of Mobility:
“Anyone finds her or himself in a situation where they are neither learning nor contributing, they can move themselves to a more productive place.”
We may experience some or all of these 4 roles:
Participants can either become the host of a session or be an active participant in a session. Participants can also function as a bumble bee and jump back and forth to ongoing sessions and cross-pollinate other conversations with new ideas and insights from other groups – in case they join discussions, not workshops. Indeed, especially to safeguard ongoing psychodrama’s there is the possibility of gathering in a closed group.
Especially in larger settings like ours in which an Un-Conference lasts one day, the role of the butterfly emerges. Butterflies take a break from the ongoing sessions and find themselves often at the buffet or chill-out area. When two butterflies meet, they might end up having the deepest conversation of the whole Un-Conference. The hosts will create space for this.
The time structure is:
10.00 – 11.00 Opening, warm-up and marketplace
11.10 – 13.00 1st slot of Parallel sessions of workshops and discussions
15.00 – 16.50 2nd slot of Parallel sessions of workshops and discussions
17.00 – 18.00 Conclusions of the discussions, final sharing and closing.
We will be sending the zoom link 1 day before the event.
We hope this offer inspires you and that you all will register for this unique event and opportunity to join from wherever you are!
Looking forward to meeting you all next month at the Unconference, September 25th, 2021.
Meanwhile we wish you a wonderful end of the summer and plenty of inspiration!
Warmly,
The Board of the Psychodrama Association for Europe e.V.
