It is great pleasure to invite you to active participation in COLAB titled "Art Therapy/Art Spaces" which will be held in Czestochowa, Poland on 29-21 May and 9-15 June 2025. Based on our knowledge and experience from our last COLAB, in order to develop this event and make it more and more professional and accessible for the representatives of quadruple helix, we decided to extend its duration and therefore it was divided on two parts:
Part I – CoLab & Hackathon (May 29-31, 2025)
Part II - CoLab „Big Size" (June 9-15, 2025)
The organization of CoLab focused on art therapy is not only an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences, but also an important step towards the professionalization of this field, its social legitimization, and the development of therapeutic practice. CoLab enables specialists from various backgrounds to meet: therapists, psychologists, doctors, artists, educators, and representatives of universities, educational institutions, public administration bodies, non-governmental organizations (foundations and associations), students, doctoral students, and secondary school pupils.
This fosters the creation of new models of cooperation and innovative practices, builds professional identity, and creates space for discussion about work standards, ethics, certification, and legal regulations. The topic is an opportunity to exchange insights, experiences, and good practices among participants from different backgrounds, but it can also become an impetus for initiating social projects, international cooperation, or integration activities at the local level. Within the CoLab, an expert panel is scheduled, bringing together specialists working on various aspects of art therapy. The panel will discuss art therapy within the framework of several key issues.
Please see theundefined for organisational details.
We hope for a multifaceted, interdisciplinary and fruitful exchange of views and experiences.
You are cordially invited to participate in the Symposium
