Dear Colleague,

On IAGP’s journey of spreading the training and education in group psychotherapy and group processes all over the world, the IAGP Education Committee (IAGP EC) currently works on expanding its team and recruiting distinguished professionals. The committee chair and members are pleased to welcome specialized professionals willing to participate in training and education programs in different parts of the world.

The IAGP EC is an umbrella committee that ensures consistent standards for workshops and projects offered by IAGP in co-operation with the local group, as well as the IAGP Sections, Task Forces or Committees. The IAGP EC is responsible for coordinating and developing curricula and appointing the staff team for each project run by or sponsored by IAGP. It has a chairperson who, in cooperation with the executives, the section chairs and the Board of Directors, selects further members of the Committee to work with him/her.

IAGP would like to acknowledge all the input of those individuals who are willing to give their time and expertise to help achieve IAGP’s mission of sponsoring projects and workshops in countries or places where educational facilities and training in group psychotherapy and group processes and concepts are under-provided or lacking.
