Dutch workshops

There is a possibility to provide Dutch workshops (but please send in your abstracts in English). These Dutch workshops are scheduled on 1 day during the conference. It is possible to sumbit for this day only. The costs are €300,- (VAT included).

Call for abstracts

Creative approaches to learning and personal development will be incorporated into the conference process through workshops, plenary sessions and the social events. The creative activities are offered as experiential opportunities for participants to explore their own creativity and as sources of information on training and development. The creative processes offered at the conference do not constitute training in themselves.

Abstract format

Outline abstracts of approximately 300 words are invited for presentations, posters and workshops on any aspect of practice development (whether it has been successful or not) and including the difficulties of enhancing practice in the stressful contexts of every day practice. Interactive, as well as innovative ways of presenting work, networking, facilitating learning and understanding and so on are encouraged. In addition to welcoming oral presentations and posters, we encourage participants to experiment with alternative kinds of presentation for example, with critical conversations, drama or art works. Posters will be highly valued and, especially if they are visually exciting (colour, visual images, objects, photographs etc), they are likely to provide excellent networking and interactions. Presentations of any kind should be given in no more than 15 minutes, and should provide critical questions to stimulate discussion by participants (25 mins). Workshops will be one and a half hours in length and must focus on practical participation.

Abstracts deadline

Deadline for receipt of abstracts is March 15 2008. Abstracts should be sent via email to: abstract@bureauenzo.nl
