Frequently Asked Questions

Of course! The congress is open to everyone who is interested, regardless of their professional background or training.

Psychodrama is a method of group psychotherapy and social intervention created by Jacob Levy Moreno. Rather than only talking about problems, in Psychodrama we put situations into action. Through dramatisation, we explore human relationships, try out new ways of being, and foster collective creativity. It is a practice that takes place in a group, and that values the encounter between people as a driving force for transformation.

Of course, and you are most welcome! The congress is open to the whole community. If you have never encountered Psychodrama before, this is precisely a good moment to discover our practice and the people who build it. There will be spaces designed with first-time participants in mind.
