PCPA Mini-Conference
10 – 11 September 2010
Keeping up with the Future: PCP in an Accelerating World

University of Syracuse, Faraday House, 48 -51 Old Gloucester Street, LONDON WC1

This two day conference is an outcome of the highly successful EPCA conference that took place earlier this year in Belgrade. Many of the UK contributors have agreed to present papers and run workshops they prepared for the Belgrade conference, so that PCPA members and others in the PCP community who were unable to attend can benefit from the energy and ideas that were generated at that time. The theme of the Belgrade Conference was: Keeping up with the Future: PCP in an Accelerating World.

Intensive foundation course

This 5-day intensive foundation courses offers a comprehensive introduction to PCP in our personal and professional lives. It will cover the underpinning philosophy of PCP, key aspects of theory, an exploration of the psychology of change, and tools and techniques for working with ourselves and others.

The course has proved valuable to people working in a wide range of professional roles, and to those interested in exploring their own lives and relationships. It is designed for small groups, allowing plenty of opportunity for interactive and experiential learning, and for applying PCP to our current questions and challenges.

Details of next course to be posted when available

Completion of the foundation courses gives access to all PCPA workshops and to the Foundation Certificate and Diploma Course programme.

Foundation courses can be customised and delivered in-house for professional groups.

Foundation certificate in PCP

Many students find that the foundation course leaves them with an appetite for further training, and the Foundation Certificate is an ideal next step.

The certificate is achieved by attendance at a foundation course followed by an individually tailored programme of about 6 days over an 18 month period.

The individual programme may consist of:

• PCPA foundation course follow-up days, supervision groups or learning sets
• PCPA one-day workshops
• PCP network meetings and learning events
• PCP conferences
• individual supervision and mentoring

Credits are accumulated through a tailored combination of activities, supervised by a nominated mentor.

Towards the end of their programme, students are asked to submit a piece of writing describing their relationship with the theory and how they are using PCP in their practice.

Bespoke courses in PCP

PCP has a very wide range of application. It is used enthusiastically in business and organisational settings, in leadership and management development, in schools and education, in health and social care, as well as in counselling and clinical work.

Members of our team have experience in designing courses for teams, groups and organisations, applying PCP to specific work settings. We can also provide specialist courses on a PCP approach to topics such as working with conflict, making career choices, team work, or managing diversity for example, or to specific groups such as children and young people, or managers and team leaders.

Courses can range from one-day workshops to full foundation courses for your own organisation or team. If you would like to discuss your needs and interests, please email pcp.contact@virgin.net
