Seminars in June 2019
Why did I choose this profession?
Why am I unable to discuss certain things with my (grand) parents? And why am I afraid of the conflict?
Why am I involved in issues of human rights, peace, refugees or reconciliation?
Why can’t I let go off some issues?
What does my family and my past have to do with the decisions I make in the present?
Christoph Pinkert and I invite you to join us to discuss these questions and to find exciting (new) answers: In two seminars, we create a trusting and protected framework to individually and collectively address these (and other) questions.
Past and Present
In the one-day introductory seminar, we will present the basics of epigenetics, biography work and transgenerational trauma work. We will discuss the implications of these for the way in which our personal and professional pathways have evolved as well as our responsibility for the next generations. Answering these questions is crucial for individuals and institutions working on democracy promotion, human rights and peace work, as well as memory and history work.
My past and my present
In a subsequent two-day training, we will concretely apply the learning from the previous seminar to the realities of participants. Here the focus will be on the intensive study of one’s own biography.
We will invite you to reflect upon your personal and professional prioritiess and support you to mage courageous changes. and support you to make courageous changes.
