Performance at the ECArTE Conference 2019

OUR NEXT CONFERENCE
ECArTE conference in Vilnius, Lithuania postponed until September 2022
Following consultation with Vilnius University and the ECArTE membership, the Board have made the decision to postpose the ECArTE conference which was due to take place in Vilnius, Lithuania this September. This is due to the continuing uncertainties caused by the pandemic and concerns of bringing together an international community of delegates.
We have decided to postpone the conference rather than move it on-line as ECArTE conferences are about place, and the bringing together of the community in person. We are grateful to the local organising committee in Vilnius for agreeing to move the conference to 14th-17th September 2022. We are planning – for the most part – to roll over the programme which has been created for this year. The conference administrator will be in contact with presenters regarding this process.

SAD NEWS – WITA SZULC SADLY DIED IN EARLY OCTOBER
Many of you will remember Wita as a colleague who had a long association with ECArTE and was a pioneer of art therapy in Poland. She had been teaching on the art therapy programme at Ignatianum and our thoughts are with Klaudia and colleagues there. Wita dedicated so much to the development of Art Therapy in Poland and her warm heartedness and humour will be sorely missed. There will be an opportunity to honour Wita at the next conference in Vilnius with some memories and dedications.
HALF DAY CONFERENCE
Thanks to all involved in the pre-conference event on 24th September. It was a great online meeting and a great way to connect and learn more about how the arts therapies are developing in Lithuania. And thanks to Janek Dubowski for his keynote which you can access here, to Margaret Hills de Zarate and Uwe Hermann for their response which you can find here, and to Sigita Lesinskienė for her response which you can find here.
MUTUAL RECOGNITION PROJECT
ECArTE is pleased to be moving forward with the Mutual Recognition Project, in collaboration
with ThinkFilm.
