The war in Ukraine

Statement 

To the world 

To all governments 

To all conflicting parties in the war in Ukraine 

To the press 

To all individual and institutional members of EAGT 

 

February, 26th 2022 

 The Human Rights & Social Responsibility Committee  of EAGT  and General Board of the European Association of Gestalt Therapy, representing 26 European countries, meeting in Barcelona March 5th 2022, expresses their indignation at the war in Ukraine.  

 We call for an immediate end to all acts of war, from the deep conviction that war can never be an answer to conflicts. It only leads to destruction of infrastructure and unprecedented human suffering on a physical, mental and psychological level. 

 We strongly urge that governments and their leaders come together to end this conflict in a nonviolent way to prevent further human suffering. 

 We express our solidarity with the Ukrainian and all Russian people who are devastated and anguished by the actions of their government in this needless violence:  

 ‘They are Us and We are Them. We are all One.’
