Join Us for a Day of Exploration and Connection
In an increasingly polarised world, how can we learn to engage across difference: with others, within ourselves, and within our communities? What do we have to bear—and what do we have to honour—in order to relate meaningfully and respectfully across the divides that shape our world?
The 2026 TaSC Conference invites participants to explore how we might cultivate more peaceful, cooperative, and understanding ways of relating—ways in which difference becomes a source of creativity and learning rather than conflict. We will draw together insights from in-depth therapeutic practice and social justice practices, bridging psychological and political perspectives to consider what solidarity across difference truly requires.
Two Ways to Join
The conference is hybrid: you can attend in person at Roehampton University in London, or online from anywhere. Choose the option that works for you.
In-person (London): You’ll be taken to the University of Roehampton’s booking system. The event is at Roehampton University’s Elm Grove Conference Centre. You may need to create an account first; allow a few minutes to complete your registration.
Online: You’ll be taken to Onlinevents to book your place. Join from anywhere with tiered pricing (£25 / £37 / £50; student £15 with code).
A Day Designed for Connection and Collaboration
Morning: Panel Discussions
Join panel conversations exploring solidarity across difference. With a deliberately flat structure, both venue and online participants will have equal opportunity to contribute, creating genuine community across locations.
Afternoon: Facilitated Group Work
Engage in meaningful small group exploration. Venue participants will work together in person, while online participants will connect in their own facilitated groups, each working within their specific contexts.
Closing: Collective Reflection
Reunite as one community—online and in-person together—to share insights from the day and reflect on the change we're taking into our lives and into the world.
Being Together, Wherever We Are
Experience true hybrid connection. Throughout the day, we'll create the experience of being together regardless of physical location, honouring all voices equally.
