Objectives

NARRATIVE CARE was a training research path through the autobiographical method: research because it intended to investigate and observe through professional stories, therefore inside the materiality of social work- whether and how individual stories are received, and how they contribute to the construction of socio-educational intervention; training because, through group work, a process of collective co construction of meanings is developed, representations and "openings of possible worlds" able both to make explicit what is latent of one’s work and their way of enhancing life stories, both to identify some evolutionary potential of the methodologies autobiographical, with particular attention to social processes of inclusion. The workshop was proposed as a learning path of the theories and practices of the autobiographical method through a reworking of the meaning attributed to the work, of its own epistemological and deontological horizons, of the crisis, of personal strategies, ability to interpret the work mandate and build coherence/mediation between it and the actions professional, learning originated from experience.

Background

The debate around the processes of adult education, with particular reference to adults with problems, is open for a long time: the time of complexity and globalization, in the multiethnic and multicultural society, calls for a greater ability of the subjects in the field - operators and citizens in orienting, moving, cultivating relationships (process of INCLUSION) and preserve their unicity; groups of people find themselves organizing their lives on our territoriesmbut they are ex lege limited, if not really deprived of the status of citizens. The mix of the welfare system, therefore, is made increasingly complex; the actors multiply and the network that interconnects them thickens; new types of marginalization and poverty, linked not only to the economic data, but also to the cultural, relational and communicative social skills. Through group work, a process of collective construction of meanings is developed, representations and "openings of possible worlds" able both to make explicit what is latent of one’s work andmtheir way of enhancing life stories, both to identify some evolutionary potential of the methodologies autobiographical, with particular attention to social processes of inclusion.
