Community Psychology: Breaking Walls, Building Bridges

The coronavirus pandemic happening at the moment was (and still is) an unprecedented situation that has caused a noticeable economic and social impact. In times of crisis like these, vulnerable groups face increased challenges and social exclusion is one of the outcomes they often struggle with. In light of this, we believe it is now more important than ever to empower and give a voice to those who tend to lack one and to raise awareness on topics that are crucial to our social development. By focusing on Community Psychology, we aim to discuss topics such as equality, social justice, a sense of community and the importance of interdisciplinarity.

“Breaking walls, Building Bridges” is a motto, a way of thinking and acting. We propose to help create unbreakable bridges and build strong, empowered and inclusive communities. This is an ambition that does not fit in our hands alone, so we hope you will join us in trying to have a positive impact on the world, never forgetting the role that our beautiful science – Psychology – can play.
