After the expiration of the one year period and if desired by the members, the group will continue its facilitation process with the possibility of accepting new members and changes within the group rules. In the announced period, the group will provide opportunity for those who wish to study the Psychodrama method in passing level 0 (Personal experience) of the IPP Chiron training program, which will be verified by a certificate. In the first four group meetings the group will be open for accepting new members. After these meetings, till the end of the program, the group will be closed to new members, which will be changed at the end of the period.
The main focus of the group's work in the first year will be the individual. During this period, each participant will have the opportunity to work with personal issues and to get close to these characteristics he / she wishes to examine or turnover. The therapeutic process is a group process, each member and the group as a whole have their place and contribution to the topics that will be addressed. For this reason, the group dynamics will be framed with norms, which the group itself will discuss and choose at the beginning of the process. Then, each participant will be undertaken to comply with the accepted rules so that we can move on to the core of our work. The group process will be facilitated by the two directors.
During this period, the process of the group's work will be structured by thematic sessions. Of course, the space will be open and the group will decide whether and to what extent they may deviate from the topics of the session. The work will follow the wishes and the choice of the group.

The Psychodrama is a method that can be used in a wide range of activities and professions that focuses on working with people. The Group may be useful to people with different personal, educational and professional history and goals, whose work and / or interests are focused on the human factor. Personally, the Psychodrama can be used as a tool for better self-understanding and understanding of others, as a means of developing specific personality traits or coping with problems and difficulties of a different nature. Professionally, the methods of psychodrama can be used for group activities of different nature - building leadership styles, team cohesion, coaching, group dynamics, team buildings, developing skills for group work, effective communication, active listening, etc.
Anyone wishing to join will go through a short interview with the directors. For more information, questions and registration:
