NGV Mission, Aims and Values

Mission

The over-arching mission of NGV is to provide a platform and support for voices that are less often heard to take part in conversations – at different levels of system – community, national and global levels.

Our Aims

  • Using gestalt as a tool or prism NGV seeks to support meetings and conversations that shed new light on individual, team, organisational, and world problems.
  • NGV seeks to support and incubate practical innovations that have benefit to wider communities.
  • NGV seeks to revitalise the body of gestalt – for established members of our community, new practitioners and trainees, the world at large
  • NGV seeks to contribute towards developments in gestalt theory.
  • NGV is committed to an ‘open source’ ethos whereby so far as possible the work we do is made readily available, affordable and replicable.
