“First workshop of the Erasmus+ ‘Learning for Peace’ project
‘Learning for Peace’ is a new and inspiring project led by Dr. Erzsébet Fanni Tóth at the SFU Faculty of Psychotherapy. The Erasmus+ funded international collaboration aims to understand and use discourses of the traumatic past in education to prevent future conflicts.
The first large-scale event took place on 23 March 2023 at SFU Vienna. It brought together international experts from the fields of psychotherapy, psychology, social sciences and history. The main focus of the workshop was to gather and evaluate best practices in the narration, processing and teaching of trauma.”

An international workshop on the narratives of trauma with international participants will take place at the Slovak National Museum on 14 September. The main organiser is the Forum Institute and the co-organiser is Sigmund Freud University in Vienna. Andrea Lelovics, project manager, facilitator, trainer and college professor at Forum Institute, and Fanni Erzsébet Tóth, Associate Dean for International Relations at Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, talked about the event on “Keddi Nappali”.

Learning for Peace workshop in Bratislava: In an international workshop, educators and representatives of civil society organisations discussed and tested how to use the stories of the past in education.

„Nowadays, it is not at all uncommon to speak openly and analytically about various traumas. Examples of parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and, more generally, the burdensome past of the former social milieu around them, are increasingly becoming the focus of extensive criticism. It is a cliché, but it is done so that we can learn from the past, so that ‘such things never happen again’. It is a bit bitter to talk about this in the shadow of the war in Ukraine, but if we look back to the 20th century, the effort does not seem futile.”
