Our Vision

Our vision is to create a catalyzing space for interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge & skill sharing, research exchange, & immersive exercises that will expand the impact of Creative Therapies for those in need —in Azerbaijan & around the region.

Creative Psychology spans a spectrum of modalities, including art therapy, music therapy, dance & movement therapy, drama therapy, poetry therapy, and beyond. Embraced globally for its profound impact on mental, emotional, and holistic well-being, this emerging field has expansive and significant applications in healthcare, education, and community development.

​

As the demand for creative therapeutic approaches steadily rises here in Azerbaijan, so does the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and strong training programs. The Creative Psychology Symposium offers a response to this imperative, providing a unique platform for academics, practitioners, & the public to come together and explore the intersection of art & science.
