KIM LEE-OWN, MA:
DREAMS: A BRIDGE TO THE FUTURE?
Dreams reflect the human self, but they are also a way for the mind to practise solving problems. This workshop focuses on the analysis of dreams as a means of understanding the human being and how dreams can be used to find solutions and future direction.
MGR. MAGDALENA VALÁŠKOVÁ:
Strengthening self-esteem and experiences of belonging in trans* and non-binary children and adolescents
For trans* and non-binary children, awareness of their own difference and uncertainty about their place in life can lead to avoidance of contact with the world. The course focuses on understanding developmental needs, guiding and supporting the child and developing the necessary competencies.
MGR. JITKA MUSILOVÁ
Anxiety and stress in children - understanding and means of support and encouragement
Currently, anxiety, depression and apathy in children are increasing significantly. This workshop focuses on understanding the symptoms, the function of emotions and ways to support children's resilience and sense of mental wellbeing within the whole class.

Psychokemp:
workshop for adolescents (15 - 20 years)
Psychokemp is a five-day workshop focused on self-discovery and development in a safe environment.This workshop is suitable for all adolescents who want to regain or support their mental balance, strengthen their self-worth, and find a new perspective on themselves.
MGR. KRISTÝNA BAUMOVÁ
Psychokemp: How to lead a development programme with a group of adolescents
Adolescents are "adults in training", they are advocating a difficult position - they are no longer children and not adults yet. This workshop will offer inspiration and tips for working with a group of adolescents as well as an opportunity to experience different methods and techniques to support adolescents on their way to adult identity.
You, us, the beautiful surroundings of the Vysočina Region and meaningful time together.
OUR GOAL
The idea of organising a summer school of individual psychology in the Czech Republic has been in our minds for some time. Similar events abroad always make us so excited and allow us to experience the meaning of our work that we want to do the same for you.
You are going to experience a week that will be:
• a time full of inspiring interactions with others and examples of good practice,
• an opportunity to obtain new information and share experiences,
• an opportunity to further your professional and personal development,
• a place to meet with your colleagues, make new contacts and possibly establish new friendships,
• and last but not least, a place to relax, unwind and have fun.
And so we got to it.
We are already busy with the preparations for the conference, but the goal we have makes sense and we are looking forward to it:
You, us, the beautiful surroundings of the Vysočina Region and meaningful time together.
WHEN?
1 - 5 July 2024
The summer school begins with our opening plenary on Monday at 10:00 a.m., and ends with a Friday lunch.
WHERE?
The Summer school will be held in the picturesque surroundings of the Vysočina Region at Immanuel Conference Centre.
The venue impressed us by the variety of accommodations and the beautiful countryside. We like its compactness which allows us to be together, but at the same time we can each find our own place under a tree or by a pond for a moment of peace and solitude.

PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMME
For the entire summer school you can choose one of the main workshops for which there will be time each day in the morning and afternoon, that is 16 hours in total. They will be led by our colleagues who work in the individual psychology system. All workshops deal with the use of an individual psychology approach within current topics that professionals encounter in their practice, such as stress and anxiety in children, education and counselling for parents, working with addictions, ...
We also offer a full week workshop for young people aged 15 - 20.
In the evening, there will be space for the conference part of the summer school, i.e. for your active participation and presentation of your work. You can already apply now (via the form below) with your 90-minute workshops, 15-minute presentations or posters.
ACCOMPANYING PROGRAMME
The programme does not end with the professional part. There will be space to stretch out during morning group yoga sessions and for the evenings to come, we are planning a varied programme. We want to give you the space to be together in other ways than just professionally - social or cultural life, sport and experiential activities will also play a part.
WHO CAN ATTEND THE CONFERENCE
The summer school is not only for those who base their work on Alfred Adler's individual psychology. Participants can be psychologists or psychotherapists, but also educators, parents, leaders of children's organisations, students of the humanities or anyone who is simply interested in the approach of individual psychology.
Moreover, as part of our summer school, we offer a programme for adolescents. Therefore, if you know someone who has almost or has just become a grown-up, and is interested in psychology or likes to discover their inner world and learns to understand it, they are more than welcome to join us.

The presenters will lead their lectures so that the core ideas of their topics can be shared across the entire participant group.

evening programme
MONDAY: The Board and Other Games Evening
The evening to try out various board and related games. We would also like to discuss their possible use for working with clients in different contexts. The board game experts who will guide us through the evening are already preparing a varied selection of them. For competitive players, there may even be a tournament for themed prizes during the evening.
When was the last time you just sat back and played a proper game with a colleague?
TUESDAY: The "Expressive Therapy" Evening
Expressive therapy is deliberately in quotation marks, as it will include old classics such as dance-movement therapy as well as (hopefully) new ways of conceptualising the use of art or self-expression in working with clients. There will be more options to choose from so that the experience can again be enjoyed in smaller groups.
WEDNESDAY: The Zelená Pára Band Concert
The third day can sometimes be challenging at similar events, so why not let off some Green Steam? 🙂 (for English speakers, “Green Steam” is a literal translation of the band “Zelená Pára” from Czech to English) With a repertoire full of classic favourites, both old school and contemporary tunes, the Zelená Pára Band is guaranteed to make your event go off with a bang! Ready for some buzz and youth nostalgia? We sure are! 🙂
THURSDAY: The Belonging Evening
The last evening will be devoted to a light-hearted presentation of the work done in the long-term workshops and an opportunity to spend some time off together, to exchange important thoughts, smiles or contacts for future cooperation and to let all we have experienced together resonate with each other.
