The Pan-African Psychology Union (PAPU) and the Psychological Society of South Africa (PsySSA), together with PAPU members in Africa, look forward to welcoming you to the first-ever continental psychology congress from 18 to 21 September 2017.  PsySSA, formed at the birth of South Africa’s democracy in 1994, is Africa’s largest scientific and professional psychology organisation. PsySSA and its other African partners successfully hosted the 30th International Congress of Psychology in 2012 where PAPU was formed. PAPU was inaugurated in September 2014 after extensive consultations and support from throughout Africa. South Africa’s 2nd largest city, Durban is the country’s playground, reflecting a rich history and heritage of cultures, cuisine and coastline. Sunny with spring temperatures from 15° to 23°C, you’re certain to enjoy the intellectual and social activities on offer.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues and friends:

As we know, human affairs, for the most part, are rooted in psychology. Psychology of individuals, psychology of social groups, and societies.

At the same time, we recognize the different perspectives and expertise of other relevant disciplines eg. Political Sciences, Economy, Cross-Cultural Sciences etc. and we are curious what our colleagues from those fields have to share.

As psychologists, we feel the burden of many problems the world suffers from and we feel the need to address them responsibly, from the humanistic yet also realistic perspectives.

It is a privilege to address you and ask you to share our concern. We encourage you to take part in this important event. In 2017, we focus on the following areas:

• SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY,
• COMMUNITY/COMMUNAL PSYCHOLOGY,
• MEDIA PSYCHOLOGY,
• MILITARY & FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY. 

The Forum will be organized by the Union of Psychological Associations of the Czech Republic (UPA CR) with the support of  Czech-Moravian Psychological Society (CMPS).
