Translation
For some of the presentations and workshops small scale translation might be provided
from English to Greek and from Greek to English. Small scale translation may be also provided for other languages too.
This issue will be clarified only at a later stage, and will depend on the volunteer work offered.
Our aim is to, whenever possible, to translate basic power point presentations, and texts for some of the lectures, etc.
These presentation texts (in different languages) will also be availlable on this website, with the permission of the authors.
Please do write to us if you are willing to translate texts in your native language,
or if you are willing to do live translation for a small group of participants of your country
who may have difficulty following presentations (etc.) in English.
Our aim is to facilitate participation of more Focusers, Focusing professionals, FOT,
and Focusing and PCE practitioners, not only from the organizing country,
but from all the European countries.
We recognize that the language-issue is a crucial one,
but large-scale proffessional translation cannot be offered
because it would increase the conference fee too much.
