ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
  • Discover the latest best practices for online action methods to enrich your professional practice;
  • Experience facilitation from renowned practitioners and trainers from around the world;
  • Meet and exchange knowledge and ideas with colleagues from various countries and enrich your professional network...

Offering one day pre-conference (September 9, 2021) and 3-day conference (September 10-12, 2021); excellent international presenters from 31 countries; over 100 workshops; panels; discussions; exciting social events; entertainment; process groups; this conference will be truly memorable!

We recommend using a computer to join the conference since smartphones and tablets have some limitations.
 
The 12-hour long conference days (Fr, Sat, Sun) are offered in order to accommodate the various time-zones around the world. Each participant of the 3-day conference will be able to choose from the many options or to attend all of them.
 
Please imagine that you are attending the conference face-to-face. You would have traveled to a certain world destination, giving some time to deal with the jet-lag and attend during unusual hours. Attending the TELE’DRAMA conference offers the same – for some participants the conference events may occur during unusual hours. We suggest that for the time of the conference you adjust your BIO schedule. Please make sure that you have sufficient time to rest during the hours when you are not attending. Let yourself be fully present by freeing yourself (if possible) from additional tasks for the time being – relax and attend the many educational, social and entertaining activities; explore the rich experience offered by the presenters; dance, sing and enjoy this exciting way to reconnect with old friends & colleagues and to connect with new. Extend your knowledge, perspective and social and professional network; enjoy this unique opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the world, while sitting comfortably in your own home.
 
Please note the time of the events (some hours could be too early or too late for your time zone); consider how many hours you could be present; and commit to events that you choose to attend. Choosing certain workshops with limited seats, will reserve a seat for you. Not attending chosen workshops will leave your seat unattended, when somebody else may have wanted to be at that workshop; and could also disappoint the presenter, who will be prepared for a certain number of participants. Thank you for considering this.

TELE’DRAMA CONFERENCE DISCLAIMER TELE’DRAMA CONFERENCE DISCLAIMER
  • Confidentiality: You are welcome to share more or less about yourself while in a group, however, the more open you are the better the experience you will have. Even though you are attending training, you might be sharing information in a group that is sensitive and personal. It is important that you feel comfortable in the online environment of group training. All members of the group are asked to agree to confidentiality in the online group sessions. This means that each participant agrees not to share any other group members identifying and personal information with others. It is appropriate to share your personal reaction and feelings with others, but please do not share other people’s stories or other information with anyone outside of the group. 
  •  Groups are international, bringing the richness of various cultures and experiences. Participants will speak with various accents. Respect to cultural, individual, and role differences, including those based on age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, and socioeconomic status, is required. 
  • =10.0ptThe people most affected by experiences of dehumanization are the experts in those experiences. We center historically mistreated, currently marginalized, and often devalued voices in the world. We recognize the dehumanizing impact of white/euro-centric norms and we seek cultural humility by rejecting anti-immigrant rhetoric and action. We affirm the self-determination of indigenous and native communities. We value traditional stories and decolonization. We work to deconstruct gender oppression by integrating feminist and trans-valuing orientations. We actively disrupt ageism, ableism, classism, racism and heterosexism. We extend welcome to members of all faiths and to those who do not identify as having a religious orientation. We notice that the multiply marginalized hold data for humanization for all.
  • The large group meetings – announced in the program as ‘Plenary # 1 or Plenary # 2; and the Gala Event, may be recorded and shared when appropriate by the organizers
  • All other sessions – workshops, process groups and the social hour, are unique to those who attend and WILL NOT be recorded by the organizers OR the participants. Participants should refrain from taking pictures of the group work and sharing it with others or on social media. 
  • Participants need to attend while using a quiet and safe place with no other people present in their near-by physical space.
  • All cameras (video) need to be 'on' during the sessions (except when an internet problem occurs).
  • All participants receive unique links to connect. Please do not share your link with anyone else. 
  • As the training is online, we want to be sure that we offer options if a problem with an internet connection occurs. If the technical issue occurs to the presenters, the workshop will be rescheduled. 
  • All participants are expected to arrive 10 min early for the session to start exactly on time. If a participant arrives late to a workshop and the warmup and sociometric exercises have advanced, the participant may not be appropriate to join.
