INVITATION

The Norwegian Institute for Expressive Arts and Communication NIKUT in association with the Norwegian Moreno Institute is honored to announce that the FEPTO 2012 annual Meeting will take place outside Oslo, Norway in June 2012.

Before the FEPTO Annual Meeting you are welcome to join us in a conference from June 8th to June 10th. The working title of the conference is “Empowerment and Resilience”. The Annual Meeting starts on June 10th and lasts until June 14th. For this year’s Annual Meeting we have chosen the title “The Creative Saving Lie – the Balance between Denial and Truth”, inspired by Henrik Ibsen and his play “The Wild Duck”.

Accommodation and activities will take place at Romerike Folkehøgskole outside Oslo, Norway – a quiet, beautiful location situated close to Gardermoen Airport.

The two institutes and the local organization committee are happy to invite you and will do all we can to make your stay in Norway an enjoyable experience.

With best regards,
On behalf of the two institutes and the Local Organization Committee (LOC)
Eduardo Verdú and Arne Husjord


Welcome to the FEPTO Conference in Oslo!

We would like to dedicate this conference to all those who work with people who have suffered from traumatic events and loss of loved ones.

This is the first FEPTO conference in Norway. When the conference takes place it is almost a year since 22.7.2011. Who were affected by the terrorist attack? All “bodies” were invaded: the family body, the social body and the political body. When the incomprehensible and irreversible strikes and leaves you powerless it is important to be able to reach out and find a hand to hold.

The theme of the conference is Empowerment and  Resilience. We hope that the conference will provide the participants with knowledge on how to work with people who have been victims of abuse and violations. We will cover: How to work psychodramatically with leaders of organizations who have suffered traumatic events, health workers who work with survivors of trauma, how to work with survivors of trauma themselves, schools and communities.

When people have been struck down, they need help to stand up and feel a sense of belonging again. We hope that this conference will inspire all health workers and give an understanding of how psychodrama can make a difference and give hope! Best regards from the conference committee The Norwegian Moreno Institute and NIKUT.

CONFERENCE SITE

The conference will take place at Jessheim, located 45 km outside Oslo, the capital of Norway. This beautiful region is easy to reach, by car, train or bus. Oslos main Airport Gardermoen is situated nearby.

A hundred years ago, Norway was one of the poorest nations in all of Europe. Today, it is probably the richest. This huge transition has resulted in rapid changes in lifestyle and a high level of education in the population. The last years, there has also been a massive immigration of workers from all of EU, and Oslo today can best be described as “a city in construction”,
In a similar way, psychodrama in Norway has undergone big changes in the last five to ten years and it continues! From a situation of one training institute, Norway today has four well-functional and modern training institutes that teach psychodrama on basic and advanced levels. The association is governmental approved, and has attained several important rights for its members.

The conference will be held at Romerike People’s College, a place that recruits candidates to Norway’s best schools for stage performance. The school is located by the Nordby Lake, where you can take a swim (if you are a real Viking) or enjoy the beautiful forest path around the lake for walks or jogging
