WP3: Capacity Building and Training Workshops
Lead University: Universidade Católica Portuguesa UCP
Co-Lead University: Hashemite University & University of Sfax
DATE : 4,8.07.2022
The five-day workshop was held at the University of Brescia (four days) and at the Ex-Ospedale Psichiatrico San Giovanni, Trieste in July 2022 under the direction of Prof. Giovanni Mirabella. Eight representatives from the Universities of Jordan and Tunisia participated in the workshop. Unfortunately, many people could not come from Jordan and Tunisia because they had a problem with their visas. Scholars came from different educational backgrounds (arts, medicine, neuroscience, computer science).
Thus, the meeting was characterized by a synergy of various visions and thinking. As a result, there has been a fruitful and enriching cross-fertilization between different researches.
The workshop was divided into two sections. The first one was held in Brescia and consisted of
lectures on key neuroscience topics and visits to neuroscience laboratories. The first three days were.
dedicated to state-of-the-art lectures covering different aspects of the following main topics:
1. Decision making, motor control, Parkinson Diseases and Shizophrenia
2. The interplay between emotional stimuli affect motor control
3. The embodied theory of language.
All these topics are of fundamental importance for building the basic knowledge of art therapy students. The first half of the fourth day was spent visiting two very productive and modern laboratories at the University of Brescia, i.e., the Lab of Sport and Science and the Lab of Neurophysiology. The second half of the day was dedicated to the transfer from Brescia to Trieste, where the second part of the workshop took place.
