ABOUT THE CONGRESS
Dear Sir/Madam, The Provocare Foundation – Institute cordially invites you to participate in the II International Congress of Provocativeness, which will be held in a hybrid format, both online and in person.

The initiative undoubtedly contributes to building a community focused on the exchange of ideas, experiences, and information about current research and practical applications of provocative, improvisational, and derivative methods. This event could become a place where new theories, methods, and standards in the fields of Provocative Therapy and Provocative Coaching are shaped, influencing the development of these specializations on a global scale
- Promoting the provocative approach and its ethical, professional usage.
