Mon 2nd to Fri 6th🌐➕ SOL Summer Retreat 2021: 'Nourishing Your SF Roots To Enable Your SF Flourishing' "It will be a mix of the formats that have worked so well over the previous 11 years, with an online base and as much physical co-location of participants as possible by August.

This year, we have planned it so that the Retreat will include the SF24 Conference; which is taking place on the 5th-6th August. We hope that participants in the Retreat will see this as an opportunity to include and support that event as part of their own Retreat planning.

The Retreat is an opportunity to meet other SF practitioners in an informal environment so that we learn more about how we each think and apply SF in our work and lives. And to co-create a joyful, easeful environment for all to think, learn, share, play, take care of self and others."

Fri 17th to Sun 19thShow in Google map🇩🇰 EBTA2020 [sic!] - BACK TO THE FUTURESHelsingør, 3000 Helsingør, Denmark"The conference have three themes as described below.: [...] 
1: RESEARCH
EBTA along with SFBTA have for years supported researc in Solution Focused practice, both on a quite practical level and concrete research projects. Research related to the Solution Focused approach, not only document and validate the approach and practice, but also helps spread the word of SF. This conference theme puts highlight on new research results, provide a setting for upcoming researchers to meet and talk, and to create a platform for practitioners to talk about, how we in the future of Solution Focused practice can learn and benefit from the research of today - and best of all, how can we support the research of tomorrow.


2: PRACTICE AROUND EUROPE
“Back to the futures” is the name of this conference. When you look back, you find that you were once in “the land of choices”, and beeing there provided the opportunity to create many kinds of future. And you chose one. This conference theme can be seen in the same way: once the solution focused approach was developed by Steve and Insoo, and some similar ideas by Luc Isebaert and Korzybski Institute. BRIEF in London have simplified the approach the most, others have combined SF with EMDR, or Marte Meo and others have been influenced by hypnoses or ideas from Wittgenstein, Ericsson or…. This track is an opportunity for everyone to become familiar with “what’s going on at my neighbors house” or “I’ll show you, what I’ve developed”.

3: FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE
The Solution Focused approach was developed in the ‘80, and ever since practitioners over the world have set their fingerprints on the approach by adding on new elements,  deleted others or integrated ideas from other approaches e.g. Today there’s a variation of fields of practice. Wonder how Solution Focused will look like in 10 or 20 years, and wonder what you will be seeing practitioners be doing in order to say; wauw, they’re working from a solution focused approach. This conference theme will focus on the basic assumptions of Solution Focused practice in order to define - if possible - the core of the approach, thus we in the future can identify solution focused practice. What do you need to see me be doing for you to say, I’m working in a Solution Focused way?"

Tue 3rd🌐 Using Solution Focused ideas in life"The Journal of Solution Focused Practices (JSFP) is a free online resource, available to all. While it is a peer-reviewed journal aimed at an academic audience, it is also a source of all kinds of information, inspiration and ideas which can be used in many settings.

In this free one-hour session on SF World Day (3rd May) Rayya Ghul (University of Edinburgh, UK), Mark McKergow (SFWork, UK) and Anton Stellamans (Ilfaro, Belgium) will each be picking a paper from the journal and, with the aid of some very special guests, be showing how they use Solution Focused (SF) ideas in ‘everyday life’. That means not therapy, coaching or professional helping – it’s about how we go about tackling the challenges, the ups-and-downs that life presents us."

Was wäre wenn...

...sich am 13. Mai 2023 verschiedene Personen an der PH Graubünden treffen würden, um miteinander über eine lösungsorientierte Schule nachzudenken, Visionen und konkrete Ideen zu entwickeln, Kooperationen und Projekte zu gestalten?

...wir einen Tag lang Zeit hätten, miteinander ins Gespräch zu kommen, eigene Erfahrungen und neue Ideen auszutauschen und uns dabei einfach überraschen lassen wollen, was alles am Ende entstehen kann.

...wir dich entweder am Freitagnachmittag zu einem kulinarischen Stadtspaziergang in Chur oder dann am Samstagmorgen im Foyer der PH Graubünden begrüssen dürften.

Fri 15th to Sun 17thShow in Google map🇵🇱 2023 EBTA Conference: EXPLORING RESILIENCE – SF quests!School Humanitas, Jana Kilińskiego 43, 41-200 Sosnowiec, Poland"
We will explore how a solution-focused brief therapy (approach) promotes the creation of spaces and contexts that enhance the remedial potential of clients who face the after-effects of difficult experiences. We also would like to highlight the topic of "help the helpers", i.e., how helpers can also take care of themselves. The topic seems to us particularly significant when many specialists reacting to Russia's attack on Ukraine undertook the difficult task of working with crisis intervention strategies, trauma, and loss. Part of the specialists, who help others, are refugees from Ukraine and victims of the war.

We deeply hope that the Conference of the European Brief Therapy Association will be a place for meetings, exchanging experiences, and mutual learning for specialists from Poland, , and all over Europe. We are looking forward to meet specialists from Ukraine who are currently working in Poland."
