Vaclav Havel

Without a global revolution in the sphere of human consciousness, nothing will change for the better in the sphere of our being as humans, and the catastrophe toward which we are headed . . . will be unavoidable. Vaclav Havel (Quoted in Lasley, 1994,p. 3)

Vaclav Havel

Sans une révolution mondiale dans le domaine de la conscience humaine, rien ne va changer pour le mieux dans le domaine de notre être en tant qu'êtres humains, et la catastrophe vers laquelle nous nous dirigeons. . . sera inévitable. Vaclav Havel. 1994

Main ideas We are living through a change of era not

just an era of change. Incoherence, uncertainty and anxiety are new

universal contexts This creates pathological and transformative

opportunities Meaning and self efficacy are essential for

flourishing but in short supply Evidence of cultural crisis is everywhere Question: Can humanistic practice move

beyond the therapeutic context to provide cultural leadership?

If so, what do we need to learn?

Page 7: Persons of Tomorrow The winds of scientific, social, and cultural change are blowing strongly. They will envelop us in this new world, this world of tomorrow

Main ideas Notre époque est l'un des changements

fondamentaux Incohérence, l'incertitude et l'anxiété sont

maintenant contextes universels. Ce produit opportunités pathologiques et de

transformation. Signification et l'auto-efficacité sont essentielles,

mais difficiles à trouver. Les signes d'une crise de la culture est partout

Question: la pratique humaniste peut aller au-delà du contexte thérapeutique de fournir un leadership culturel? Si c'est le cas, que devons-nous apprendre?

Conformity or Freedom? “Education either functions as

an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.” ― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Conformity or Freedom? L'éducation soit fonctionne

comme un instrument qui est utilisé pour faciliter l'intégration de la jeune génération dans la logique du système actuel et apporter conformité ou il devient la pratique de la liberté, les moyens par lesquels les hommes et les femmes traitent critique et créative avec la réalité et découvrir comment participer à la transformation de leur monde― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

No matter how wealthy, free and peaceful a population

might be, if the consciousness of its members is neglected and atrophies,

the communitywill suffer and decline.

Modern European lifestyles are unsustainable. They have become associated with overproduc tion and overconsumption. The impacts of our lifestyles are putting too much pressure on our natural resources and have adverse environmen tal, economic, social and health effects. P 4

Our research suggests that in order to make progress in these areas, that focus should be placed on strategies to assist, motivate and inspire behavioural change, as well as the role of infrastructure and enabling sustainable living environments.

Consciousness evolves or collapses Shaping the consciousness for a new world is a

collective community responsibility.

19th/20th century institutions including education, mental health practice and policy must change to adapt to new 21st century realities

For the first time we have the choice to do it mindfully and with knowledge about the challenges that face the world

We must locate ‘positive deviants” sites of new institutions and practice for cultivating new persons exist and more must be developed.

THREAT AND OPPORTUNITY

Page 39: Persons of Tomorrow The winds of scientific, social, and cultural change are blowing strongly. They will envelop us in this new world, this world of tomorrow

Menace et opportunité Conscience soit évolue ou effondrements

Façonner la conscience pour un monde nouveau est une responsabilité collective de la communauté.

Institutions 19e/20e siècle, y compris l'éducation, la pratique de la santé mentale et la politique doivent changer pour s'adapter aux nouvelles réalités du 21e siècle

Pour la première fois nous avons le choix de le faire en pleine conscience et des connaissances sur les défis auxquels font face le monde

Nous devons trouver des déviants positifs »des sites« de nouvelles institutions et de la pratique pour cultiver de nouvelles personnes exister et plus doivent être développées

Actualizing tendency manifests as: Self-healing capacity of individuals Self-organization and movements

towards higher complexity The transformative power of person-

to-person connections and in the wisdom of groups.

Transcends the human domain and includes everything in nature—from atoms to galaxies and beyond.

Page 43: Persons of Tomorrow The winds of scientific, social, and cultural change are blowing strongly. They will envelop us in this new world, this world of tomorrow

Actualizing tendency shows itself thus: Capacité d'auto-guérison des

individus L'auto-organisation et mouvements vers plus complexes Le pouvoir de transformation de connexions de personne à personne et à la sagesse des groupes. Transcende le domaine humain et comprend tout dans la nature, des atomes aux galaxies et au-delà

We must become hospice workers for a dying culture and midwives for the

new one that is on its way.

Transformative pedagogyBy 1987 Rogers had lost interest in

further research counseling and therapy. He and his colleagues had come to see person centered processes not merely as an effective therapeutic approach but also as a powerful pedagogy for transformational learning that could form and nurture the Persons of Tomorrow

Page 46: Persons of Tomorrow The winds of scientific, social, and cultural change are blowing strongly. They will envelop us in this new world, this world of tomorrow

En 1987, Rogers avait perdu intérêt pour la poursuite des conseils de recherche et de thérapie. Lui et ses collègues était venu voir les processus de PCA comme une pédagogie efficace pour l'apprentissage transformationnel qui pourraient former et de perfectionner les personnes de demain

International Futures Forum Exists to help individuals and groups

develop the capacity to sustain human aspiration, realised through wise action, in a complex and challenging world.

We work where there are no easy answers, where existing models fail to make sense of our confusing reality, where we are in over our heads, where we face an unacknowledged ‘conceptual emergency’.

A new psychology The many converging trends

…constitute a paradigm shift. We will try of course to live in our familiar world, just as people lived upon a flat world long after we knew it was round. But as these new ways of conceptualizing the person and the world sink in, becoming increasingly the basis of our thinking and our lives, transformation becomes inevitable.

Carl Rogers, 1980 A Way of Being p348

A new psychology Les nombreuses tendances

convergentes ... constituent un changement de paradigme. Nous allons essayer bien sûr de vivre dans notre monde familier, tout comme les gens vivaient sur un monde plat de temps après, nous savions qu'il était ronde.
