SIXTH UUAP AND EAP JOINT ONLINE SYMPOSIUM

For our Sixth Symposium of the Ukrainian and European Psychotherapy Alliance we are exploring the vital theme of women in the time of war. We will explore the changed roles that women are forced to undertake; the invisibility of the roles women hold in the war; the challenges of being a woman at the front line, and the ongoing way in which women’s roles change through the influence of the war. We are delighted to be joined and supported by the Danish Council for Psychotherapy for this Sixth Symposium. We are honoured that Mr Villy Sovndal MEP from Belgium will be the Patron for our Symposium, and will give an address in the morning session.

Our Sixth Symposium includes a Sociodrama, which will be conducted by two experts in the field of Sociodrama in Ukraine – Olena Stupak and Anastasia Sklyaruk. They will conduct the Sociodrama with all the participants of the Symposium, and explore the psychosocial roles of women unfolding against the backdrop of the war.

We cordially invite European Psychotherapists to join with Ukrainian Psychotherapists in this Sixth Symposium, as it is vital for our Ukrainian colleagues that they have the opportunity to be connected with, and in relationship with, colleagues from other European countries as they face their challenging lives in the present, and prepare for their future. The benefit is felt by both Ukrainian and European Psychotherapists!

We welcome you!
