The practical philosophy behind the organization of the Training Programs in Narrative Therapy by INT is to give the opportunity to people interested to make choices freely and flexibly. That’s why there is:
A. Weekend Training events 3 three-day training events are organized each year in Thessaloniki delivered by trainers from the international teaching staff of the Dulwich Center of Narrative Therapy (Adelaide, Australia). Some of the topics that have previously been presented in Greece are the following. B. Narrative Walks Web Workshops on burning issues of our time delivered by exceptional facilitators from all over the world. These events have relatively small duration (usually half a day). Chene Swart & Lungi Molamu, Yannis Angelis, Jill Freedman & Gene Combs, Poh Lin Lee & Grace Gelder were some of our first guests in these events.
Before each training seminar there is an open and free public event – presentation (with a seminar theme). The purpose of this event is to enable the public to get acquainted with Narrative Therapy and to obtain valid and practically useful information on specific topics.

Program configuration logic Our program is designed so that it gives you a solid practical ability to practice therapy effectively and with understanding. It is a program that clearly clarifies the theoretical framework, but is mainly practice-oriented and aims to provide tools and knowledge so that participants can start practicing narrative therapy techniques with a sense of confidence. Key advantages, then, are the emphasis on practical applicability and that this is given in a short period of time and in a cost-effective way.
