'Philosophical Counseling: New approaches to social inclusion' offers a set of innovative tools for working with vulnerable groups, especially migrants, asylum-seekers, women and minors, and building bridges between such groups and the local communities.
During the past six years, Cristina Bignardi and her team have worked with migrants in Italy and developed a new methodology by combining several techniques: self-help groups, café philo, research communities and philosophical counseling.
This lead to a technique of listening and sharing the narrative dimension of one’s life and circumstances, using as pretext conventional wisdom and relevant quotes from philosophers and writers.
The innovative aspect in using philosophical counseling with vulnerable people is to try to give them a new way of thinking, a new contextualization about life. This is done through group discussion, starting from a proverb or a philosophical consideration. The participants have the opportunity to engage with and think critically about taken for granted aspects of their own cultural background and compare it with those of the other participants. This activity allows to solicit a more creative and assertive way of thinking, helping the person to overcome the negative experience and regain the capacity to hope and plan for a better future.
Participants at this workshop will:
• learn how to frame migration issues, based on the example of the Italian context;
• learn how to make a relevant analysis on the field, using Medical Anthropology approach;
• understand how this inovative methodology helps asylum seekers to better understand the European Culture;
• develop a new perspective in thinking about one’s life through these philosophical tools.
Cristina Bignardi, a graduate in History of Arts and Philosophy, is a trained Philosophical Counselor and has been working with migrants since 2001, through several projects focusing on multicultural dialogue. She has worked in the Psychiatric Department of Bologna University, first on Early Prevention of Psychosis and later as facilitator of a self-help group for asylum seekers and refugees. Cristina’s interests have been also focusing on women's rights and victims of war-rapes, food sovereignty, farming and sustainable development. Since 2012 she has been the coordinator of "Prevention has no color 2.0", a health programme for foreign women in Italy implemented by Pace Adesso - Peace Now. Currently she is an active worker on social inclusion.

‘Heart-centred approaches to the refugee crisis’ training draws on the experiences of two initiatives arising in response to the recent humanitarian crisis. They have sought to bring fresh perspectives and find new ways to welcome, support and create connection between emerging communities of locals and their neighbours who were displaced from their homelands.
The sessions will be experiential, engaging hearts and minds and invite participation as we dig deep into what community means and ask what might be your own unique contribution to this most pressing of issues. The training is open to both experienced volunteers and those wanting to know what they can do.
Sessions will explore:
• Models of initiatives that connect and create community among and between people
• Values underpinning a heart-centred approach
• Awareness and practices of deep hospitality
• The role of faith and faith communities
• Understanding and tools to co-ordinate volunteering as a dynamic social witness practice
• Leadership skills and qualities in the face of seemingly insurmountable issues
• The shadow side of volunteering and humanitarian work
Jo Winsloe Slater is Project Manager of People of the Earth, a programme of St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace, London. During the winter of 2015/16 she and other members of St Ethelburga’s staff took the independent initiative to volunteer on the Greek island of Le**os, a hotspot for refugees seeking sanctuary in Europe. The programme emerged from this heart-opening experience and comprises leadership skills for young adults, interfaith action and community building. Over the last two years the programme has developed a dynamic social witness model of short-term volunteering to support organisations working with displaced people in Europe, and created vibrant social events for London locals and newcomers to meet beyond labels and in a space of shared humanity. Jo has been co-ordinating projects in the fields of interfaith, social justice and social care in the non-governmental sector for over twenty years. She is a current trustee of The Forgiveness Project.

Since then, her attention has turned to humanitarian crises, taking her to South Africa, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, the Balkans and other places.

'Telling a New Story – Questioning Identities' training offers the opportunity to explore the relationship between personal, community and global narratives. What are the historic narratives that inform communal relationships? What are the stories that shape identities? Is my personal story stuck or growing?
In an increasingly fragile and divided world stories can heal, stories can harm. We will explore an invitation to take responsibility for the stories we tell and to transform them for the future benefit of our communities and in the cause of peace. What might it mean to be an advocate for a new story’– the story of our shared humanity?
Over the course of the sessions, each participant will have the chance to investigate their own sense of identity, and to prepare and tell an aspect of their own story as a tool for peace advocacy.
The areas of learning are:
1. The potential of each individual in becoming an ‘advocate for a new story’
2. Skills in listening deeply to ourselves and others as a means for healing
3. The role of storysharing as a tool for deepening connections and advocating for peace
4. Exploration of the contexts in which the stories we each carry might be transformative
5. Understanding issues of identity
6. Experiencing a shared humanity
The training will help develop a new methodology and theme for the work of Creators of Peace (CoP)
