You can find the recording [1] and the presentation [2] of the conference here. The conference took place in EEAS and we had 225 participants.
On 19 February 2026 in Brussels, the first session of a series on Transactional Analysis and psychological harassment in the workplace, From Drama to Awareness, focused on harassment and its dynamics. Harassment was defined as repeated, intentional behaviour (verbal or physical) that intimidates or harms a person, in psychological or sexual forms.
The session also introduced support mechanisms such as mediation services and their role in providing confidential guidance.
Finally, it explored the Drama Triangle (Victim, Rescuer, Persecutor) and its impact on workplace dynamics, and presented the Empowerment Triangle as a more constructive framework promoting responsibility, coaching, and accountability.
Please find below the other two conferences held as part of the same series:
In English psychological harassment is more commonly known as bullying. Here it would be specifically workplace bullying.
The C(2006) 1624/3 [5] Commission decision on the European Commission policy on protecting the dignity of the person and preventing psychological harassment and sexual harassment Section 2.1 lists examples of this behaviour.
The update, C(2023) 8630 [6] Commission decision on the prevention of and fight against psychological and sexual harassment, and repealing Decision C(2006) 1624/3 point 8, page 2 lists examples of this behaviour.
