Looking back: The Therapy2.0 meeting in Rijeka / Croatia October 5 – 6, 2017

Our Rijeka meeting was a big step forward to our project objectives! The Therapy2.0 toolbox as well as the guidelines, the learning platform, the app and validation procedures were presented in drafts and discussed in detail.

The toolbox will offer a modular range of training and demonstration materials for the target group of therapists and counsellors. So far, 100 good practices and materials were collected from 19 countries. Now we will choose the best ones according to criteria, which meet best the practical requirements of counsellors and therapists.

The guidelines will have nine modules with basic information on online-counselling and therapy including links and references on the state of the art, future needs and available resources. Added bonus: The guidelines will have direct links to toolbox examples for learning material.

Our Therapy2.0 platform will host and support the toolbox (linked to best practice) and link them to the learning modules. An electronic app will provide quick online access to all material. The validation of our learning materials will start in spring, then interested parties will get access to all material developed so far.

Our Croatian colleagues created a very good working environment and spoiled us with a social programme full of information on the history of the city of Rijeka. Rijeka was always a city of many ethnicities inhabiting the multicultural port-town, who brought their different faiths and cultures with them. Special thanks to Marina, Tanja and Alexandra for all your hospitality and kindness!
