IASTI Symposium 2 –SFA teaching – emerging perspectives and challenges

The second IASTI Symposium will be held online using zoom. It will give trainers of SFA the opportunity to learn about how this approach is developing around the globe. SF trainers will meet to share and reflect upon their way of teaching and training.

SFA Teaching  – Emerging Perspectives and Challenges, you’ll dive into cutting-edge ideas, share real-world experiences, and gain tools to energize your teaching practice. Whether you’re seasoned trainer or starting out, this is your space to grow.

With new voices, diverse perspectives, and creative teaching approaches, the field is evolving without losing its heart: a belief in people’s strengths, possibilities, and capacity for hope. Symposium 2 celebrates this evolution—bringing us together to explore emerging perspectives and the challenges that inspire growth. 

Each session will be an interactive event, hosted by one or two IASTI members who introduce and host the session. We hope all participants will have some ideas to contribute, small or large. 

In symposium 2 we will explore these topics:

• Common challenges in teaching and counseling
• Self development and self care for teachers
• AI in teaching
• SFA across cultures and contexts

The Symposium is not only for IASTImembers/ alumni but is open to any SFA training colleagues. Signup, join and participate!
