International Balint Events

This page shows events taking place in other countries that you may wish to attend

Balint work is active in many countries and the International Balint Federation brings us together in shared events, such as a biennial Congress held in different countries and in alternate years, a Leadership Conference. The IBF holds its Spring Council meetings at a member country's Balint weekend too. There are also a number of events held by individual national Balint Societies which include Balint groups in English, which we can attend, just as we welcome people from other countries to our events.

BALINT SPRING DAYS

Caen, France - 16th May 2025 - 18th May 2025

The French Balint Society is very pleased to invite you to attend the Balint Spring Days in Caen, joined with an IBF Council meeting. Caen, and Bayeux cities in Normandy are known to have hosted famous and meaningful moments of European history, which you can revisit in a famous memorial calling for peace, an epic tapestry as well as the D Day beaches.

Bearing that in mind, we will invite you to gather and reflect upon the following theme :

“Liberation and remembrance in Balint groups”.

What liberation are we looking for in a Balint group? How may the remembrance process lead to a change of perspective, values, or holding capacity?

Waiting for the chance to welcome you and exchange with you.

The venue is the Medicine University, 2 rue des Rochambelles, 14000 CAEN, France. It is located at a 2 min of walking distance from the nearest public transportation stop. It’s close to the city center.
