ANZATA SYMPOSIUM AND AGM

Interwoven: Creativity, Community, Connection

25 and 26 September 2010

The 2010 ANZATA Symposium to be held in Auckland on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 September 2010. The Symposium will again be held at the well-appointed Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design Campus in leafy Parnell. It will be a full and varied programme of workshops and presentations in several arts therapy modalities. As always this Symposium will be jointly run with the Creative Therapies Association of Aotearoa (CTAA) who will run a day of workshops on 26 September. This year the Creative Spaces Network will also be involved on the second day. The ANZATA AGM will take place in the afternoon of the 26th.

The annual Symposium is always a stimulating and exciting event and the organisers would love to see lots of Australian members making the trip over to New Zealand. It offers you an opportunity to network and share knowledge and experiences with other professionals of the benefits of Art Therapy as a sustainable tool for supporting well-being in our society and presents a great opportunity to celebrate and reflect on the foundations and practice of Art Therapy in Australia and New Zealand.

The organisers are now calling for Proposals for Workshop Presentations. There are limited spaces for workshops so there may be 2 x 2 hour sessions and 4 x one hour workshops or some other similar combination. As a presenter you will have free participation in other workshops on the day of your presentation.
