Dear guests and colleagues,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you in Cairo for the 5th IAGP regional conference in Africa and the 4th EAGT conference.
The more humans are able to connect with each other, the more hope we have in collaborating and overcoming the encountered cultural, geographical and universal challenges. It is our duty, and the duty of the current civilizations, to direct and encourage all individuals, with no exceptions, to work creatively, tirelessly and lifelong.So, let us meet in this international gathering that takes place in the home of civilizations. Let us call for communication, not in mere words, but in engagement, responsibility, and solidarity, within a collective consciousness that stems from the authenticity of history and stretches through all expanding levels of consciousness in the whole world, and beyond.

Conference President
Co – Founder of Group Therapy in Egypt
About EAGT and Group Therapy in Egypt: The journey of group psychotherapy and group processes in Egypt goes back to the late 1960s at Psychiatry Department, Cairo University ( kasr Alainy), when Egypt witnessed the birth of group therapy practice by Prof. Yehia Rakhawy and Prof. Mohamed Shaalan. In 2011, the EAGT has been established to enhance the practice of professional group work in Egypt, which has remarkably thrived following the collaboration with the International Association for Group Psychotherapies and Group Processes, IAGP. Together, regional congresses were held starting from “Hope in Critical Times” in 2014, passing through “From Hope to Action” in 2016, till “Hope, Action and Connection” in 2018 with more than 400 participants from 42 countries. The upcoming conference comes to crown the EAGT and IAGP contribution in group psychotherapy and group processes in the region.
