VI International Online Conference
of the Ukrainian Society of Transactional Analysis“Usta is Welcoming Friends!”

Dear friends and colleagues!

Six years of inspiration, knowledge and new discoveries is the milestone the USTA International Conference is celebrating in 2026!

Time really flies. It seems like only yesterday we opened the doors of the first conference space, got to know each other and shared our first impressions. And now is a new stage ahead, a new opportunity to get together and share new experiences.

Thanks to your support and participation, the USTA International Conference is becoming larger and more meaningful every year. Each meeting brings not only new knowledge, but also warm meetings, inspiration and development.

Modern society increasingly needs a culture of inclusivity, the practices and approaches that recognise the uniqueness of each person and create space for equal opportunities. In this context, transactional analysis becomes a powerful tool for understanding human interaction, developing maturity and responsibility.

We have become convinced that the strength of the Conference is rooted in its community. Every participant, every speaker, every partner contributes to the life and development of this shared experience.
Wholehearted thanks to our participants and speakers, due to your contribution and engagement the USTA Conference has become an annual tradition that we cherish and develop.

The Conference Organising Committee invites you to participate in the VI International Online Conference «USTA Is Welcoming Friends».

Conference theme

“CULTURE OF INCLUSIVITY AND TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS: STEPPING STONES TO MATURE AUTONOMY”

The purpose of the conference is to bring together transactional analysis specialists to discuss contemporary approaches to fostering a culture of inclusivity and the application of transactional analysis as an effective tool for developing mature autonomy in individuals, organisations and communities.

The underpinning basis of the conference theme: the theme of the conference reflects the idea of building ‘bridges’ between the humanistic values of inclusivity, as well as with the psychological tools of Transactional Analysis.

A culture of inclusiveness is the foundation for a society where the value of each individual is recognised and equal opportunities are ensured.

Transactional analysis provides methodological tools for researching interaction, overcoming barriers and developing partnerships, and offers psychological tools for developing a culture of inclusivity: it helps to foster acceptance, dialogue without discrimination and interaction based on respect for diversity.

Mature autonomy is the ultimate goal: it is a state when an individual, organisation, and community are capable of making responsible choices, engaging in constructive interaction, and realising their potential.

We will talk about:

• how a culture of recognition is formed in professional communities,
• how to avoid unconscious exclusion scenarios,
• how to develop an organisational culture where everyone has a place and a voice.

Thus, the conference aims to find effective ways to combine the inclusive values of inclusivity, respect for diversity, and psychological practices for the development of individuals, organisations, and society.
Inclusivity in TA is a bridge between I and We, between personal autonomy and collective maturity.

The conference will feature interesting and useful master classes and workshops from international and Ukrainian speakers.

The Conference Organizing Committee invites you to participate in the VI International Online Conference “USTA is Welcoming Friends”.

We look forward to seeing you at the Conference and will be delighted to welcome you!
