🇧🇪 SF World Day: Samen aan tafel ...Clemenspoort, Overwale 3, 9000 Gent, Belgien"Solution Focus (SF) is een internationaal verspreide methodiek die gebaseerd is op 30 jaar doorgedreven onderzoek naar wat werkt om veerkrachtig verandering aan te gaan. De aanpak richt zich op wat gewenst is (in plaats van het probleem), op het aanwenden van krachtbronnen van de betrokkenen en op het stimuleren van vooruitgang door concrete volgende stappen.Op de SF World Day willen we met inspirerende voorbeelden van het oplossingsgericht werken op individueel, organisatorisch en maatschappelijk vlak in de verf zetten."
"Het event is gratis ... maar je moet je wel vooraf inschrijven omdat het aantal plaatsen beperkt is. Als je niet komt, laat het ons weten. Wie inschrijft maar niet komt opdagen, vragen we als compensatie 25€ te storten op de rekening van de VVDO (BE85 0688 9472 5906)."

🇬🇧 UKASFP Conference 2019: Hope in Conversation and ActionBath Spa University, Newton Saint Loe, Bath BA2 9BN, UKWe have received some wonderful ideas for this year’s UKASFP conference, following our ‘call for ideas’. We are now asking for people to firm up their ideas into concrete proposals, and we would love to hear from people who have not been in contact already too.
We want to develop a conference ethos that is both collective and interactive. We welcome submissions from groups of two or more, and whether you are submitting as an individual or a group, we want what you offer to have a strong interactive element.
We also want to encourage submissions from people who have something to share – some research, a project, an idea – that doesn’t immediately lead to interactive activity. We will then have an option of bringing such submissions together into coherent groupings, to enable discussion and the cross-fertilisation of ideas.
Space and time will be made available for poster presentations too, where people can interact around your poster and your ideas.

🇩🇪 EBTA Summer Camp 2019: The philosophical underpinnings of solution focused practiceKleinbuchfeld, 96114 Hirschaid, GermanyThe EBTA Summer Schools play an important role in connecting the energy of the 'next generation' of SF practitioners with the wisdom of long experienced old hands. This year's event in Germany will have a particular focus on the philosophy and theory (if indeed there is such a thing) of SF work, and how that connects with our everyday practice and work with clients. Ferdinand Wolf (Austria), Michael Hjerth (Sweden), Mark McKergow (Scotland) and Nick Drury (New Zealand, via Skype) will be joined by Naomi Whitehead (UK) and Matthias Schwab (Germany) with philosopher Michael Gerten from the University of Bamberg also contributing. This is a real one-off opportunity to get up close with some fascinating and crucial ideas in a collegiate setting. And there will be beer!

🇨🇭 SOL Summer RetreatSeminarhotel Möschberg, Möschberg 7B, 3506 Grosshöchstetten, SchweizIt’s time to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our SOL Summer Retreat. It started with a group of 6 enthousiastic SF Practitioners in Switzerland. The mixture of learning, sharing and relaxing together has proven to be successful and very inspiring! It’s one of the best means to fully recharge your batteries!Following Steve de Shazer’s quote “look at what works and do more of it” we will once again gather with a group of enthusiastic Solution Focused practitioners to connect, inspire, be inspired and fully energized while learning about SF through friendly Open Space exchange, relaxing in the summertime, enjoying the peace and calm of a beautiful venue.
May we invite you to www.moeschberg.ch, a family owned small seminar hotel on top of the hill with a stunning view. This place is just perfect with flexible workshop spaces and a large garden. You will enjoy the hospitality, a wonderful tasty cuisine and the quiet of the mountains (with just a few cows grazing around). The inn can accommodate just around 30 people and will be reserved for us, Retreaters.
As for the program: we’ll keep the well-proven flexible Open Space formula throughout the Retreat. For those who have not been yet to a retreat: Do you have creative, innovative, playful SF practices to share? Are you looking for supportive partners for professional ideas you are about to develop? Do you have questions you want to discuss with colleagues who have had vast experience in SF work? Come to the Retreat! We all have SF in common, so: trust that the right people will be there to create the right moment so that the right things can happen – in the workshops and in-between them!
