The focus of the conference will be on those dialogical practices and research findings best able to promote human alliance and develop working practices with and among families and communities in an era of complexity and interdependence.
The main experience of dialogical practices in the clinical, educational, social and political fields will be presented, and extended to other fields, institutions and organizations. Particular attention will be paid to the processes of dialogue and peace, intended as creative and non-violent solutions for conflict.
