AusTAB collaborates on international Feldenkrais Method projects. All members and practitioners are encouraged to contribute to these projects. Contributions of ideas for other Feldenkrais Method projects are welcomed by the Board.
International Accreditation Guidelines Project
The Future of Feldenkrais Method training programs
The International Feldenkrais Foundation (IFF) established an International Working Group (IWG), comprising representatives from all international TABs. Catherine Hamber, recent Board member, was AusTAB’s representative.
To create more contemporary and ‘best practice’ polices and guidelines for Feldenkrais Professional Training Programs (FPTP), aligning with contemporary educational practice.
The Project Group surveyed the wider Feldenkrais Method community for their views on training programs. Survey responses were shared between TABs. NATAB mapped existing FPTP models to current international guidelines and identified potential areas of change.
Amendments to the Guidelines are following a consultation process for Policy Development with the broader Feldenkrais practitioner community. Visit NATAB Website for further details of the Policy amendments.
