Hopes for the Narrative Conference 2012

The first European Narrative Conference was held in 2009 in Brighton, England, after many years of celebrating international narrative conferences. The idea of a European conference received great support from Michael White who among others was eager to support and honor local practitioners’ development of the narrative ideas in Europe. This second European Narrative Conference continues the intentions of creating a context where different narrative practitioners from different countries can come together and make visible, discuss and inspire to the different uses of the narrative ideas. The conference offers an insight into the great variety of contexts in which the narrative ideas can be used and covers a wide working field from different kinds of therapeutic settings to organizational settings. This is done in a way that is meant to catch the attention of and include a great variation of people, from narrative therapists, social workers and managers to coaches, students, etc., who all have a shared interest in the narrative ideas.

Our hopes for the conference are not to situate narrative ideas and their use in dogmatic ways, but to invite and make space for the development of narrative ideas.
In this conference there will also be an opportunity for the participants to experience keynote speakers from all over the world. To mention a few we have Maggie Carey from Australia, Johnella Bird from New Zealand, Art Fisher from Canada and Narrativ Praksis from Denmark.

The conference will also contain social events and a gala dinner where participants can come together, get to know each other and hang out with preferred discussions and experiences.

On behalf of all the organizers of the conference Narrativ Praksis wish all participants a great experience and we are looking forward to see everyone in August 2012
