Narrative Walks
|
The Institute for Narrative Therapy and Community Work in Greece, in the context of its social response in a difficult period for each of us personally and also for our society, decided to organize a series of interactive online workshops, lectures, and discussions under the title “Narrative Walks”. Narrative Walks will try to focus mainly on hot topics that can be addressed through the perspective of a narrative approach in the field of psychotherapy, community practice, organizations, and social responsibility. We start with the idea that Narrative Walks are short in duration (usually half a day), host excellent professionals in their field from all over the world, are offered regularly with an affordable financial contribution, and will inspire, challenge, and create a field of constructive discussion and learning. |

Α. INFORMATION ABOUT THE ONLINE WORKSHOP – EVENT
This workshop offers a personal exploration of three themes circling us both at the beginning of the year and in the global context of crisis and chaos. Narrative questions to invite us to articulate moments in our current lives and photography to transform experience into imagery from our living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens – shared or alone.
We will invite you (as a group) to witness people’s sharing in story and discussion (no images will be shared during the workshop) to appreciate and attend to diverse experiences spanning: culture, language, legacy, place, age, unique current circumstances. You will have time in the workshop to complete different creative invitations under the guidance and support of the facilitators. At the conclusion of the workshop people’s preferred personal photographs and significant stories/expressions will be formed into a collective document and sent to all workshop participants.
This workshop is not based on experience, expertise or ability. In the spirit of inclusivity all of you (including the many hats you wear) is invited to show up and participate.
What you need to bring:
Paper
Something to write/draw with
Camera or phone with camera
Furthermore, during the workshop the participants will be invited to take photos. It is the participant’s responsibility to select images that they feel comfortable to be shared with facilitators, participants and the Institute of Narrative Therapy and Community practice, who may share at their discretion with the wider public. The facilitators will put all images submitted (with the participant’s preferred name clearly marked) into a collective sketches document.
The intention of the shared document is to visually map the workshop journey, offer a space for people’s images to be witnessed and the chance to witness the work produced in this collective space.
In order to participate in this please, sign the following document, attach and send it to narrativetherapygr@gmail.com.

What people say…
“Thank you for last night’s workshop. I can’t believe how thought provoking and gently, deeply authentic the whole process is. You hold the space with such poise and humanity and it’s seriously the loveliest zoom experience I have had this whole pandemic.”
“I really enjoyed the experience of thinking and feeling with other media than words.”
“Got some fresh creative juices going for me. Encouraged me to pick up my camera for short bursts without it needing to be too cerebral with what the outcome is. Short burst exercises are quite liberating to be able to do small projects that take five minutes! Thank you!”
Β. INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRAINERS
Poh Lin Lee

Grace Gelder
Grace is a photographer, arts educator and PhD candidate based in the UK. Her personal work explores themes that include heritage, hidden stories and performativity. Her facilitation work explores the use of photography in an arts and health context, often blending photography with other disciplines. Grace’s practice continually seeks to redefine the relational space between herself as photographer and those who are in front of the camera highlighting the ways in which process influences and shapes not only the images produced but people’s personal authorship and relation to their image.
