Worldwork in Australia: The Global Process Institute invites you to attend our upcoming worldwork seminar, which will take place in Sydney, Australia, from April 27– May 3, 2006.The seminar will provide a unique opportunity for people from all over the world to come together in a powerful forum for focusing on and working with social, environmental, and political issues using group process skills. Each worldwork seminar is unique, based on its location, the individuals who attend, the local political climate, and the spirit that moves us when we gather. Worldwork in Australia will certainly be influenced by the social and political climate of our host country, as well as the depth of experience seen and felt in the land itself. Learning together in an international forum brings us face to face with a variety of belief systems and cultural histories.The ancient land formations in Australia inspire us to listen to each other; to the depth of our shared humanity, to our diversity, and the greater spirit that moves us. Worldwork in Australia hopes to explore the depth of difference and conflict, as well as the shared essence of our common ground. We will focus on issues that emerge within our host country as well as issues and experiences within the international community. Learning together in such an international community inspires us to step into our eldership, explore differences and co-create the kind of world we dream of.. Group process work presents methods of facilitating groups at every level of interaction. Participants will be working on issues and learning skills applicable to individuals, relationships, sub-groups, and large group settings. Training in conflict work and facilitation will be an integral part of the seminar; we will study and learn from the experiences of staff and participant facilitators. Certificates of participation will be awarded upon completion of the course. These seven days will include training and experience in large group settings where a variety of issues relevant to the group and the world will be processed. Due to the enormous social differences in our world today, participants should expect the expression of passionate emotions that often emerge in group life. Varied styles of communication are encouraged to support the expression of diverse cultural and ethnic groups. In the spirit of deep democracy and love, we hope to create a community where all voices are heard and friendship is cultivated. Small groups will meet regularly to practice specific training exercises and process group issues in a more intimate environment. Group process work recognizes that relationship work and inner work are important aspects of any kind of group work, and participants may attend private sessions to focus on individual issues that may arise. Sessions are included in the price of tuition. Special interest groups will have an opportunity for coalition building and networking. Social awareness and educational groups will also be a cohesive part of the program. The main language of the course will be English with everyone assisting in translations. We recognize language is a great privilege for many participants and could be a challenging factor for others. Language itself is a worldwork issue, and we hope to create an atmosphere where all languages and translations are welcome. The seminar will be facilitated by an international team of Worldworkers. Additionally, we recognize that leadership emerges organically out of group process and believe that everyone is a potential facilitator. Worldwork is planning to video tape the seminar and we will honor anyone?s wish not to take part. The organization works hard to create a diverse group in terms of nationality, age, race, gender, class, physical ability, sexual orientation and religion. We appreciate your help in networking with various groups that you feel need more representation. DATES AND TIMES Registration will take place on Wednesday April 26th from 3- 7pm and 8-9pm.

SCHOLARSHIP & WORK/STUDY POLICY The organization recognizes that the giving and allocating of money for scholarships and work/study positions is a worldwork project that is continually evolving as we all learn and grow in relationship to economics, education, and social justice. The scholarship policy is fluid and develops based on feedback from previous participants. Thanks to everyone who has helped to create it!
