description

With this contribution I would like to present the results of an action research project conducted in Palermo by the pedagogical team at the Department of Psychology and Education Sciences between 2010 and 2012. This work intended to test a new parent-training scheme aimed at state schools. The following paragraph will first describe some turning points in the history of adult education in Italy which, in the last two decades, has also included supporting would-be parents, giving rise to a growing number of parent-training initiatives. Then, the novelty of the project is detailed: a main role in it was played by workshop activities conducted in small teams using a narrative dialogue to foster reflection on one’s couple and parental life experiences
