INVITATION:

To all Members  of the World Association for Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

At the beginning of this year, we were all very excited about the planned World Congress that should have taken place at the end of October in Crete, Greece. Due to the war against Ukraine which affects a large percentage of our colleagues, and considering the general conditions in the world (conflicts, pandemic, travel restrictions, economic situation etc.), the WAPP Committee for membership, governance and events and the WAPP Board of directors decided to organize the  First Online World Conference of Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy - "Psychotherapy and psychotherapists in a world of crises" .

From 26 to 28 November 2022, all our 2,300 members but also other colleagues outside of WAPP, will have the opportunity to participate in a truly transcultural conference. We will have the occasion to exchange experiences, ask questions, learn from each other, and to enjoy each other`s company. A very interesting evening program is also being prepared for you. On the 26th November, the results of the election of the new board members will be also announced.

As you can see from  the preliminary program, the time will be mainly from 10:00-16:00 Berlin time, in order to enable our colleagues from Asia to attend, and at the same time to not being too tiring. The main language will be English with translation in some other languages.

Please register as soon as possible, check the schedule formats, and volunteer as a speaker, moderator or group leader. There are slots for 75 presentations! Don´t be shy and submit your abstract as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact the head office at  wapp@positum.org.

Dear colleagues, we are very much looking forward to seeing all of you at the First Online World Conference.

With best wishes

WAPP
