CRI is co-constructing and sharing new ways of learning, teaching, conducting research and mobilizing collective intelligence in the fields of life, learning and digital sciences, in order to address the UN's sustainable development goals (SDGs).
CRI operates around 4 main areas :
CRI was founded in 2006 by François Taddei and Ariel Lindner with the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation as an essential and key supporting partner and Paris City Hall. It also benefits from the support of a wide range of foundations, corporate sponsors and institutions including the University of Paris, with which CRI co-founded the interdisciplinary action-based research challenge institute (“Institut des Défis”) to prototype a model of a Learning University enable of responding to the global challenges of our time.
For the last Learning Seminar of the year 2020-2021, the Master AIRE Learning Sciences welcomes to CRI, Nena Mocnik, PhD for a special workshop dedicated to:
CONFRONTING HISTORICAL TRAUMA, PREVENTING STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE: The Potentials of Experiential Learning in the Humanities CurriculaWhile on the surface it may seem as the international community has made significant progress in acknowledging violent pasts and its toxic legacies in terms of collective traumas, rarely has the vanity of ‘never again’ been so undeniable as in our current social reality. The evidence shows that structural violence that normalizes the perpetuating oppressions, expressions of hatreds, and social exclusions is at least partly learnt through the unhealed and transmitted collective traumas. The latter has now been widely incorporated into history syllabuses yet understanding of the transmission process needs to go beyond disciplinary limitations, cognitive recognition and classroom explanation. Rapid globalization calls for radical shifts in institutional education for next generations to successfully navigate their social realities affected by insecurity, economic instability and marginalization, all rooted also in historical traumas. Designed as action research, this study investigates the potentials of experiential learning tools in the humanities curricula as an effective path toward addressing the transmission of historical trauma in our efforts to diminish the structural violence related to it.
Nena Mocnik is a guest scholar at CY Cergy Paris Université and the leader of the European Commission-funded project Again Never Again. She is the author of the monographs Trauma Transmission and Sexual Violence: Reconciliation and Peacebuilding in Postconflict Settings (2020) and Sexuality after War Rape: From Narrative to Embodied Research (2019), and the co-editor of the forthcoming volume Engaging with Historical Traumas: Experiential Learning and Pedagogies of Resilience (2021).
Before this project, she has spent ten years working with war rape surivors and family trauma transmission, and in peace education programmmes, developing embodied and community theatre based projects. She lives in Paris.
