🎂 UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT WAPP #1: Born on a Leap Day![]()
Did you know that the World Association for Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy (WAPP) was born on 29 February 1996? 😲![]()
A leap day.
A rare date.
And perhaps a very fitting beginning for an association that has always worked beyond borders, cultures, and standard frameworks.![]()
At that time, our Association had a different name: ICPP - International Center of Positive Psychotherapy. It was a true leap of faith into the world of #PositivePsychotherapy!![]()
In 2026, a non-leap year, we celebrate not just a day, but the entire year. Because some things are too meaningful to fit into a single date.
This year is dedicated to 30 years of WAPP.![]()
