This First International Meeting aims at sharing real stories, documents and researches, as well as methods of treating the emotional side in the field of personal traumas that result from living in zones which suffer from wars or armed conflicts. Moreover, the Meeting intends to share experiences and create the opportunity to generate new perspectives through cooperative work, synergies between different areas and dialogue between theory and experience. All this is done through a program based on lectures, round-table conferences and experiential workshops, coordinated by prestigious European research experts.

Researchers from different parts of the world, specialized in both theoretical and practical areas, dedicate their efforts towards working with personal, family, emotional, biological and historical consequences that result from wars. The conferences will address a wide range of themes, from the armed conflict in Colombia to the aftermath of the terrible war of Yugoslavia; from the difficult formation of the identity of Palestinians to the mandate of silence which continues to gag the memory of the Spanish civil war and post-war. Lectures will also include sections dedicated to neurobiology and restorative justice.
