The systems psychodynamics of
Decolonising Minds, Workplaces & Curricula
for a better future
The goal of NIODA’s 7th symposium The systems psychodynamics of Decolonising Minds, Workplaces and Curricula for a better future is to deepen our collective understanding of the underlying psychological and systemic forces at play in the project of decolonisation—understood as the process of addressing and dismantling oppressive and discriminatory colonial structures and mindsets.
Many people and organisations are waking up to the need for decolonisation. This symposium is about generating actionable insights for fostering inclusive and equitable work, learning and community environments. We invite leaders, managers, researchers, practitioners, activists, students and interested others to engage in a rich dialogue about the complexities involved.
Live interactive online 19, 20 & 21 November 2024

Social dreaming
Social Dreaming is sharing dreams, and associations to those dreams, with fellow participants in order to make connections, amplify themes, think systemically and generate new thoughts. The idea is that shared dreams are reflective of something alive in the context / culture of the day but that may not be in conscious awareness. The practice of social dreaming offers participants an opportunity to explore thoughts, experiences, and society in ways they may not have encountered previously.
A series of three social dreaming matrices will contribute to the symposium goal of deepening our collective understanding of the underlying psychological and systemic forces at play in the project of decolonisation. The final matrix is the morning after the symposium’s closing sessions, offering participants an opportunity to dream and reflect on the overall symposium experience.
We look forward to dreaming, associating, and reflecting with you.
