2024 Large Group Identity Workshop
Large Group Identity, Societal Conflict, and the Tree Model of Intervention
Beginning at 1:30pm, CET, Wed., Oct. 16, ending at 5:00pm, CET, Thurs., Oct. 17, 2024
Eunepa Office, Vienna
Workshop Description
The International Dialogue Initiative is an interdisciplinary forum dedicated to the psychological understanding of societal conflict. Its network of professionals comes together regularly to examine current international issues, develop concepts, and discuss interventions in various troubled areas of the world. One area of concentration is the way that a people’s traumatic history becomes part of large group identity and leads to disturbed relationships with other groups.
Workshop Participants
Combining theoretical and practical learning, the Workshop should prove useful to anyone – including students, academicians, mental health professionals, organizational consultants, and government or NGO leaders – interested in the psychology of societal dynamics and international relations.
Workshop Events
This day-and-a-half Workshop will focus on these concepts and their implications for intervention. It will include presentations, case discussion and reflection on large group identity at both personal and societal levels.
