Resilience – within the changing world: 1st EADMT Conference

The European dance movement therapy (DMT) community reached a milestone on 26–27 September 2014 by successfully holding the first European Association Dance Movement Therapy (EADMT) Conference in Riga, Latvia. The two-day conference, followed by a General Assembly (GA) on 28 September, was presented by EADMT in co-operation with Riga Stradins Arts Therapies programme and the Latvian Dance Movement Therapy Association. There were over 200 participants from European countries, the USA, Australia and China joining this conference. In total, four keynote speeches, 12 paper presentations, 12 workshops and 10 posters were presented. It was a truly international conference that ended in good spirits. ‘Resilience – within the changing world’ was the theme of this conference.
