The chapter will describe two methods for promoting activities in an expressive way, detailing three practices or techniques. The first example refers to a narrative application of the “Tree of Life” narrative practice, piloted in Romania. The second example refers to visual methods, explaining in detail two techniques: “Evocative Cards” and “Autobiography through the Human Figure”, which have been successfully used working with minors and with professionals in training, in Italy. These tools help to engage participants in conversations that sustain vitality, hope and action orientation in life, to create a context of honouring the suitable identities of the participants. The group practices may be facilitated allowing a structured, gradual, creative narrative construction of a shareable story about alternative and socially valuing aspects of the identity of participants. This process allowed the participants to become co-authors of desirable narratives about their experiences. |
