Training Committee
Chair: Tamara Cavic, cavic.tamara@gmail.com
Purpose and Vision
The purpose of the Training Committee is to nurture good training practices among member institutes, including the harmonization of quantitative and qualitative standards, the enhancement of professional skills, and the development of a collaborative network through the exchange of knowledge and experience.
The Committee aims to complete a comprehensive map of our organization by gathering information on the competencies of member institutes and opening communication with professionals in our field worldwide.
Short-Term Goals
Our immediate objectives include refining curriculum content for the training of trainers and supervisors. This will be based on data collected through questionnaires, direct correspondence, and meetings.
Annual Plan
By the next annual meeting, we aim to:
- Gain insight into the content of training programs across member institutes
- Launch a research project to clarify and make transparent our shared training goals
Working Group
The permanent members of the Small Working Group are:
Tamara Čavić-Đurić, Yorgos Chaniotis, Sofia Simeonidou, Ilona Gorog, Angela Ionescu, Daiva Racelyte, Pavel Kornienko, Galabina Tarashoeva, and Inanc Sumbuloglu
🟣 Monthly Coordination
The Small Working Group meets monthly to coordinate and process the goals set for the year. These regular meetings ensure continuity, shared decision-making, and timely implementation of initiatives.
🟣 Standards & Contributions
Based on data collected via the online questionnaire, the Committee has gained insight into current practices. Most FEPTO institutes report having clear standards for the training of trainers and supervisors.
We will request further specification regarding:
- Number of training hours
- Content structure
- Tutorial materials for the Training Committee webpage
The presence of institute representatives at upcoming meetings is highly appreciated.
🟣 Collaboration with Research Committee
Research in psychodrama is integral to training. The Training Committee:
- Participates in psychodrama research meetings
- Encourages member schools and trainees to engage in studies
- Initiates independent research projects
A new study is being prepared on training standards (quantitative and qualitative) across FEPTO member organizations, aiming to:
- Establish a research network
- Deepen insight into psychodrama education
🟣 Psychodrama World
The Psychodrama World section now operates under the Training Committee. Activities include:
- Journal Club: Promoting published professional and scientific work
- Mentorship Program: Supporting literature review and academic writing
- Action Hub: Expert-led discussion groups on specialized psychodrama applications
Action Hub is inviting collaborators and participants for its first four sessions.
Zoom dialogues will be recorded and uploaded to the Psychodrama World webpage, linked to the Training Committee section.
🟣 Mapping FEPTO Institutes
All collected data will be integrated into a newly established:
🗺️ Map of FEPTO Institutes
This map will include relevant information about our members and promote the exchange of knowledge and skills among member schools.
