Community or Network Organisation Event

We offer a CoCo Network Forum in Edinburgh to gauge support and ideas about hosting the European CCI in Scotland as in 1991, 1999, and 2008.

If so, what do we want to offer to interested Co-Counsellors from around the World? 

The theme is not yet known.

During the Conference we will adopt the ‘Co-operative enquiry’ method developed by John Heron and Peter Reason.

The sharing of our experiences will deepen our Self Understanding and help us be more effective as Co-workers supporting others to serve themselves well as clients. As usual for the McoCo Conference this sharing will result into a report to the coco community at large, published on CoCoInfo.

Empowering the Client-in-charge to improve daily life - II

We explored this topic already last year and it is so interesting that it is on the agenda again. What can we learn as client in co-counselling from Carol Dweck when she talks about the ‘Growth Mind Set’. We can ask the same question about the ‘Solution focused approach’ in coaching.

Journey into Light

CCI Europe 2016 is hosted in Hungary and - as always- we are also offering a learning space for cocounselling teachers and people interested in teaching issues and CCI development and knowledge sharing.

What matters most in the client and counsellor roles?

This is a Special General Meeting with as only proposal to wind up CCIS.

This SGM will instruct a subsequent AGM of its recommendations.  Both meetings could be held on the same day. 

Only paid-up members are entitled to vote at this AGM and any SGM. 

Financial aspects need to be taken into account.  If we decide to close CCIS, the finances will need to be considered at the SGM, which will instruct a subsequent AGM. 

Scottish Subscription Magazine

During the workshop on Saturday the future of the hard copy Zest newsletter/magazine will be discussed.  This was also covered at a CoCo Cafe AGM table.

An important issue is whether a subscription-based stand-alone newsletter could be viable, and if it is not, how its continuation could be guaranteed financially should CCIS agree to dissolve itself as a Constitutional body. 

Supporting the networking among co-counsellors

There is a diversity of views of what is meant by “Networking”.  There is some commonality: increasing relevant connections among co-counsellors and finding ways to support those connections as well as wider community awareness.  We believe that facilitation the process of networking among co-counsellors is a valuable way forward and hope that this conference will contribute to a deeper insight into how we can achieve this.
