Conference Description
Our hope is that this one-day online conference, "The future of PCA: how to serve a changing world", will be an inclusive platform for the diverse voices in our community to explore the future of the Person-Centred Approach (PCA) in an evolving global context.
This conference aspires to create another opportunity for collaboration and continuation of a long history of the Person-Centred Approach re-examining itself, where we can collectively envision the path ahead for PCA and identify the practices necessary to keep it impactful and responsive to current and future challenges.
The following questions will guide our discussions during the conference. They will also serve as a basis for ongoing dialogues in the months ahead.
-
Are we still relevant and do we still have an added value?
-
What our contribution has been so far and what have been our struggling points?
-
What areas require improvement?
-
What are the challenges we face?
-
What have we learned from our practices and history?
-
How do we move forward to ensure we remain relevant in an ever-changing world?
-
Where are the opportunities for growth and expansion?
Panel discussions
We plan to hold live panel discussions with colleagues representing diverse perspectives, within our community. To accommodate our global reach and various time zones, we have scheduled three sessions to ensure geographic inclusivity. The idea of the panel discussions is to spark and initiate a broader dialogue among participants.
Ongoing Dialogues
This conference hopefully will kick off a process of continuous dialogue to address the challenges facing the PCA, the complexities of the modern world, and the ways needed to ensure its continued relevance.
