CDthAN – ReSHAPE the Network: An Online World Café

Join us online for the inaugural CDthAN World Café — a warm, creative gathering for alumni, current students, and the wider dramatherapy community. Through gentle conversation and collaborative reflection, we’ll explore what we want this network to become and begin shaping a shared vision for its future. All are welcome.

This is not a meeting or a presentation — it’s a participatory, creative conversation. Using a relaxed World Café format, we’ll move through gentle prompts and collective reflection, inviting everyone’s voice into the room. You’re welcome whether you want to speak, listen, dream, or simply be present.

The flow of the evening will unfold through three lightly held stages:

🌿 Warm-Up: Arrivals & Gentle Connections

We’ll begin with informal introductions, grounding ourselves in what CDthAN has meant so far and creating a warm, spacious atmosphere for conversation.

🌱 Main Event: The Ideas Table

Through guided World Café rounds, we’ll explore what we would like CDthAN to become.
— What do you hope for from an alumni network?
— How might it support your practice, creativity, or research?
— What shape should our community take?
These conversations will help us co-create the foundations of the network.

🌙 Grounding: Towards a Shared Vision

We’ll gather the threads of our dialogue, weaving together insights, themes, and emerging ideas. This is not a decision-making space but a gentle beginning — a first sketch of the future we might build collectively.

Whether you’re newly qualified, long-established, still studying, or simply curious, you are warmly invited. Bring your voice, your curiosity, and your imagination. Let’s begin this next chapter together.
