Learning outcomes
At the end of the workshop, the students are able to design a laboratory experiment on cognitive processes (from literature analysis to stimulus selection, procedure set-up and programming), carry out research based on video analysis of social events (from video recording to video clip construction, transcription with software such as Quick time pro, Elan, Inqscribe) and research based on the narrative method.
Course contents
The Lab is aimed at learning non-violent communication inspired by M. Rosenberg and intended as a practice of facilitating interaction in different contexts: personal, group, professional and institutional. The goal is to offer to/a student/s the necessary skills to communicate and receive in an assertive way feelings and needs, to prevent the occurrence of conflicts (internal and interpersonal) , to manage the possible conflicts already existing and to create networks of collaboration both micro and macro social.
The Lab is purely experiential and uses activities and "relational games" drawn from the well-established international literature on non-violent communication.
Students will first learn the various practices of non-violent communication through active participation in the experiences led by the teacher and, later on, they/s themselves/e to design and conduct short group experiences.
Participation in the workshop is limited to 20 students.
