CONFERENCE DELAY TO 2021
Dear Participants,
We inform you that under the social and economic repercussions of the world pandemic COVID19, the 7th International Sociodrama Conference will not take place this year, being rescheduled to 16 - 20 June 2021.
Portugal, like many other countries is in a state of emergency, with uncertain prediction of recovery from normality, so we chose to protect all participants and change to a date when everything should be safer.
Despite the sadness caused by this decision and difficulties associated, but also the opportunities that we all live in this phase of the world crisis, we continue with all the inspiration and enthusiasm that led us to organize this conference. Inspired by the “Co-Creation of Social Responsibility” - the way we named this conference – we realize that it refers to the most important collective challenge in this special moment and it opens an unique opportunity for the spread of Sociodrama and Sociatry methods in our Planet.
Much work has already been done during these two years by a team of around 20 people (Organizing Committee, Scientific Committee and International Commission), as it can be seen in the creativity and diversity of the attached program: with around 100 presenters already selected and approved in Workshops, Communications, Poster and Public Sociodramas. To all those who contributed to the richness of this program, through their work proposals, we appreciate the effort and commitment and invite you to keep them for the 2021 program.
The profound engagement that the conference created with the local community and its institutions reinforces our desire to maintain the venue, in Peniche, Portugal, as well as the cooperation with the Local Municipality, as much the chosen hotel, MH Peniche.
For these reasons, we encourage all participants who have already registered to stay with us until 2021, the year in which Psychodrama / Sociodrama celebrate its 100th Anniversary.
In this challenging moment when social distance is required, we would like to keep the engagement and network, created by the 7th Conference community. In this way, on the dates of this year's Conference, from June 24 to 28, 2020, and taking advantage of the warm-up already done for it, we will hold some Sociodramas On-Line, so that we may continue United and Together. The workshops available online will be led by Nina Garcia (3h), Monica Zureti (3h), Ron Wiener (3h) and Manuela Maciel (3h).
To manage the registrations already made, we propose:
a) Keep your registration
- In case you want to mantain the registration for the Conference from 16 to 20 June 2021, we encourage you to do so and we offer you free access to the Sociodramas On-Line, from 24 to 28 June 2020
- The cancellation policy of the conference will be maintained next year, until April 30, 2021, 70% of the registration fee will be refunded.

The conference will be held in the sea village of Peniche.
The 7th International Sociodrama Conference will take place from 24 to 28 June 2020 in the MH Peniche Hotel, in the village of Peniche, and will have around 400 participants from all over the world. It is organised by the Portuguese Society of Psychodrama (SPP).
It is an important international event for all those interested in social and community intervention.
This Conference is based on humanistic, democratic and universal principles, according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Description:
This Conference will be four days of presentations and workshops. They will be held in the conference rooms and also in the local community. Both will led by international experts in the practices of Sociodrama, Sociometry and Sociatry.
Several aspects of the method will be either demonstrated or applied in different contexts (clinical, educational, institutional and community).
Apart from an opportunity for professional training, it is also a moment of social healing applied to the surrounding community.
The idea is that several workshops will take place in local institutions, such as schools, hospitals, companies, public squares and even local authorities.
