Since 2017, I have been running a voluntary humanitarian organization called “Humans for Humans Rights”, which operates a unique project for refugees in Greece. The project is a community educational center for refugees over the age of 18, which allows them to acquire languages and skills to integrate into society while providing medical, social and legal assistance to refugees from around the world. The prin-ciple behind the project and the organization is that refugees and displaced persons have the right not only to shelter, food and minimal medical assistance, but also to study, train and rehabilitate and build a new life even during transitional periods. The project is run by Israeli volunteers alongside Greeks and volun-teers from among the refugees in a collaborative work model.

Tokarska, UrszulaPedagogical University of [email protected]
My name is Urszula Tokarska. I live in Poland and I have worked as an academic teacher of psychology for 30 years. I have created The Human Development Support Psychology Unit inside the formal structure of the Department of Psychology, Peda-gogical University in Krakow. My main field of interest in psychology is connected with psychological strategies of supporting human development on different stages of life and in special life circumstances suffered, especially via literacy means. My specialization are theoretical models and practical applications of narrative psychology in an educational, coaching and therapeutic processes.
My current field of interest is mental health in narrative perspective, the “complexity” of modern identity construction and inter-cultural identities mechanisms. Now I am working around the topic of supporting healthy identity construction in migrants (in counselling and therapy) or those who prepare to migrate (in deep education and preventive activity). I am interested in specific strategies for supporting individ-uals going through a long-term displacement process in their attempts to balance two essentially human psychological needs: seeking to “anchor” or “find a home” in a particular cultural and territorial reality and to remain cognitively and emotionally flexible and behaviourally mobile. Individuals, who have to be increasingly mobile these days, are often faced with a mental strain that is difficult to overcome and, as such, may be treated as a developmental challenge. One of my author`s tools of work: the narrative (auto)biographical game “Eighty Stories Around a Human Life” is intended to support this process of balancing contradictory human needs at a higher and universally cognitive-emotional-behavioral level.
I am simultaneously the scientist, the group coacher and narrative therapist believing that there is not good science without a close contact with the real human experience and not good enough practice with-out a strong theoretical base. I am an author of almost 50 scientific publications and 20 practical programs based on above assumptions. I have gained many good international experiences of teaching important psychological skills via narrative tools in the context of Erasmus Universities Bilateral Agreement (Spain, Portugal, Greece and Belgium) and in USA, Great Britain and Australia.
