Dear Sabine Busse-Kropla

 
 

The EASC says, thank you!
 

Thank you, Sabine, for your commitment of many years! We hope that as an ordinary member you will continue to accompany us with your questions, comments and lots of positive feedback!

Sabine Busse-Kropla was very active as a member of the quality committee of EASC (CQS) and specifically contributed enormously to the intensive revision of the manual, at first as an ordinary member of CQS and then as its chair. She spent many voluntary hours together with her colleagues of CQS, deliberating and deciding on enquiries and access requests for admission. Sabine always proceeded very diligently and empathically and found quite a number of solutions to not always simple cases.

EASC and the climate

EASC supports the climate debate. Whenever possible, we communicate via telephone and video conferences already now and we will do so even more. In future, EASC will pay CO2 offsetting for inevitable travel expenses of all its panels (Board, CQS, Ethics Commission). We will do this via www.Myclimate.org

The Mediterranean Regional Group held its 23rd workshop on 13 June 2019, as usual in the Coworking Center CREC at the foot of the mountain Montjuïc, just next to the port of Barcelona. This time Susanne Rieger presented the differences between intervision and the reflecting team, two very interesting and useful methods of peer consulting among colleagues. There was an inspiring discussion between EASC and inner-company coaching colleagues, covering the practice as well as examples from participants for a next workshop.

Supervision and Wikipedia

Detlef Saalfrank (Bielefeld) sends us a suggestion:

Could you launch a call for reviews in the newsletter?
Especially in view of the fact that other languages are required, as well.

Please take a look at the Wikipedia entry:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supervision

For supervision, for example, a reference to EASC or the Round Table is missing. And some wordings seem to be a bit obsolete. The theory and, for example, the TA organisation and other related fields might also be described here, too, as well as, of course, a potentially philosophical aspect (e.g. the idea of autonomy).
