Nationality, Identity, Culture: Group-Analysis to Build Foundation Myths.
Dates: 16-18 January 2026
Location: Pescara, Italy (in-person Event)
Description: A founding myth is a shared narrative, often symbolic, that serves to create, strengthen and perpetuate the identity of a group, community or nation. These myths represent the origins, values and historical roots that are important for social cohesion, offering a sense of belonging and stability.
The aim of the workshop is to analyse how group analysis can contribute to the construction of founding myths, revealing the collective processes that shape the sense of belonging and identity. A journey of reflection on how shared narratives can strengthen or challenge our symbolic and cultural worlds.
Members will explore the topic through group experiences and dialogues.
