In 1984 Carl Rogers held a Cross-Cultural Communication Workshop in Hungary, which changed many people’s life and greatly facilitated education, psychotherapy etc. in Hungary and in other Eastern European countries.

In 2009 - as the 25th anniversary of this event - we asked the questions who we - teachers, psychologist, doctors, managers, students, parents - are and what role we play today in the 21st century, and what the person-centered approach means to us. This workshop - just like the one organized 25 years before - brought about a turn in many participants' fate: we experienced the exhilarating feeling of freedom and the responsibility that comes with it.

The planning committee will develop a plan (a second-best design), believing that the best design will emerge in Pécs. We plan to arrive on Monday by 6 pm to a Hungarian Welcome. We plan Large Groups every day; two Small Groups each day; one Topic Group (Education, Clinical, Organisations, Religion and Political / Peace); one Evening Panel each day. We plan a Hungarian Goodbye on Sunday morning.

If you have suggestions for the evening panels, let us know. We intend to publish a book of papers after the conference. If you have papers, send them electronically to the Technical Organiser.

There will be partial dicounts (up to ½ of the workshop fee!) available but in return you should be able to make a contribution (eg. organizational duties, hun<->eng translations) to the conference equal in value to the discount you request. Requests should be made to the Scholarship Committee. Please spell out your proposed contribution in your request which will be considered by The Committee.
