16th International Working Conference
Learning From Action - LFA 2026
DECISION MAKING, ACCOUNTABILITY AND LIVING TOGETHER
16-18 October 2026
Casa del Sacro cuore, Possagno (TV)
This is a training model which offers participants an opportunity for direct learning, through a brief period of living together.
Learning from Action is at the core of this training. This involves exploring other languages as well as verbal language. The focus of this Working Conference is on making actions meaningful by considering them part of a different language.
The idea of these Working Conferences originates in the early 2000s from the joint thinking and cooperation between Robert D. Hinshelwood and Enrico Pedriali and then carried forward by Luca Mingarelli. This type of conference is now an item in the Standard Quality Manual of Community of Communities and the project “Visiting” promoted by Mito & Realtà Association.
Indeed, LFA is aimed at developing fundamental competences for all those who work in residential or semi residential institutions, and more generally in mental health institutions. Such competences are highly valuable for a wide range of professionals such as educators, nurses, assistants, administrators, managers, consultants, psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, neuropsychiatrists, social workers, carers, etc. However, as has already been successfully experienced in the past editions, professionals working in other areas, like the section of profit and corporate worlds, are also most welcome to join the conference.
The “Learning from Action” Working Conference integrates the Group Relations model (www.ilnodogroup.en) and the TC model.
The primary task is to learn from the experience of exploring how unconscious and nonverbal communication and group dynamics shape Decision-Making processes and influences accountability and other aspects of living and working together.
