Social Trauma as an International Research Topic

An international research network that seeks to overcome war-related traumas. Headed by the IPU, this research network began a few years ago with the aim of bringing the once deeply hostile nations in the Balkan region into dialogue with each other. The core concept was and is Social Trauma, a clinical concept used to describe the mass traumatisation of whole groups of people. It is necessary in the project to look beyond the scientific horizon: The cooperation with people from refugee work was approached as well as the exchange with political decision-makers. In this audio report, you can listen how the work in the network began, which problems arose and how the story of the network evolved.
