This year, the AFT board are excited to face the challenges of our first online conference through a creative collaboration with Friends of KCC and the Coordinated Management of Meaning Institute (CMMI). Whilst this move to online has been necessitated by the global pandemic, we believe that it brings great opportunities, not least in a theme well known to systemic thinkers; that we are all interconnected and interdependent. We hope to revisit and reflect on the values, ethics and practices emanating from the KCC school of therapy, consultation, management and research, the great influence of the CMM Institute’s theory of communications and the outcomes of their special collaboration over many years. Presenters will also share new developments in systemic constructionist practice (and theory). Throughout the Conference we will be seeking to demonstrate how, by connecting with our roots, we can make a better and more just future for humanity, the natural world and the whole planet. We are seeking to achieve this through a creative, novel, enjoyable and collaborative experience, which draws on the spirit of systemic thinking and a sense of mystery. Book Now. Early bird discount of £20 ends 15 June 2021 - offer automatically applied at checkout..
