Events for 2010
International Summer
Schools of Narrative Practice:
Adelaide, Australia in
March 2010
The 5th Dulwich Centre International Summer School of
Narrative Practice will take place here in Adelaide from 3-5th
March 2010. This event is designed for practitioners who wish to develop
their skills in narrative practice. The Dulwich Centre Faculty, a number
of international guests, and other experienced Australian narrative
therapists. will offer three days of rigorous training. International
presenters will include Walter Bera (USA), Ruth Pluznick (Canada),
Yishai Shalif (Israel), Daniel Bogue (Canada) and Elspeth McAdam (UK).
Preceding the summer school we will be holding a number of special
forums: Responding to families in
which parents/care-givers have significant mental health issues;
Appreciative Inquiry and Narrative
Practice; and Family
Group Conferencing and Narrative Practice. Walter Bera will
also be offering a one day workshop on
Narrative, Collaborative and
Restorative/Transformative Justice Therapies for the Effects of Sexual
Abuse. It promises to be an invigorating program. What’s
more, the acclaimed WOMADelaide world music festival will coincide with
this summer school here in Adelaide. Further information will be
available soon!
Toronto, Canada in July 2010
We're very pleased to announce that from 7th-9th July 2010, Toronto,
Canada, will be the venue for a vibrant International Summer School of
Narrative Practice. This event is being co-hosted by Dulwich Centre, The
Narrative Therapy Centre of Toronto, and Oolagen Community Services (a
Children's Mental Health Centre). As well as featuring a range of
international presenters, this event will showcase the diversity of
multi-cultural Toronto by having a special focus on culturally diverse
forms of narrative therapy and community work. We are also interested in
links between narrative therapy and the creative arts. Toronto seems a
great place for such explorations! More information about this event
will be available on our website soon, so stay tuned. We hope to see you
in Toronto in July next year.
Training workshops
delivered in your organisation, town or country!
If you and others in your
workplace or local community are interested in learning more about narrative
approaches then it may be possible for us to arrange a training event in
your location. This often saves considerable expense in relation to airfares
and accommodation. Topics for these workshops include:
* Introduction to narrative therapy (one day, two day or 5 day events)
* Introduction to narrative approaches to working with individuals,
groups & wider communities (two day, three day or five day events)
* Tree of Life: A narrative approach to working with vulnerable children
* Responding to trauma: narrative approaches to working with
individuals, groups & communities
Or a custom made topic depending on your area of interest and the
availability of skilled trainers on that particular topic!
Outside Australia:
Over the last ten years, Dulwich Centre has co-ordinated training
workshops that have taken place in a wide-range of countries. We have a
network of experienced and highly regarded practitioners/trainers who are
available for teaching assignments across the globe. Sometimes it is
possible for these trainers to visit a country on their way to another
destination - this saving considerable expense. We are used to arranging
low-cost but highly professional training events in places from Mongolia,
India, East Timor, South Korea, Hong Kong, Bangladesh, USA, Canada and many
others...
If you are interested in trying to see if it would be possible for an
experienced trainer/practitioner in narrative approaches to visit your local
community, please write to us c/o
dulwich@dulwichcentre.com.au
Because we have links with
practitioners in every continent (except Antarctica) you never know what
might be possible!
