Last Saturday, February 5 was the first session of the Certificate in Creative Therapies: Bibliotherapy at St. Paul University Manila, EDGE.
The session was an introduction to the 5 days certificate course. The goal of the course is for participants to make use of bibliotherapy for self help and personal empowerment, building agency and the confidence to take risks, to solve problems and nurturing empathy. Session 1, being an introductory session. covered the following topics: definition of Bibliotherapy; brief historical background; theoretical underpinnings and concepts; research and studies; and the Bibliotherapy Process.
This is a new module though I have materials already prepared, I need to look out for changes that participants are bringing into the sessions. This is essential in making the module learner centered.
This is not my first time working alongside Paulinian educators. In the past, I had Author Visits and Talks in St. Paul College Pasig in their Grade School Department. In November 2019, I had the opportunity to take part in the Wholeness-Wellness Week of St. Paul University Manila where I had a face-to-face workshop on Bibliotherapy. Thanks to Dr. Brian Bantugan for pursuing and pushing for this online series of webinar. We can work together for common goals.
