Narratives of Change and Coping Among TV Reporters Covering the War on Drugs
Tuesday October 8, 2024 14:00 - 14:50 CEST
The Philippines braced for "change" in 2016 when the "war on drugs” began. The mental health impact of this “war” was among the things that journalists did not see coming.  Using the constructivist narrative perspective, the study explored stories of stress and coping of six television crime reporters covering the war on drugs. Data was gathered through individual in-depth interviews, and was analyzed using McAdams' context of discovery.

The Challenges and Importance of Boundaries in Dealing with Vulnerable Sources in Journalism
Tuesday October 8, 2024 14:00 - 14:50 CEST
In ethical journalism, empathy and a responsible approach to sources are of great importance. But what does that mean?

Friederike Engst, Psychological Psychotherapist and Trainer at DART Center Europe and Helpline Germany and Tabea Grzeszyk repeatedly face questions addressing professional distance, doubts, and uncertainty in their respective roles. We want to discuss examples and the individual challenges of working with vulnerable protagonists (e.g., moral injury, vicarious trauma, feelings of guilt), the importance of boundaries—including one’s own—and the circumstances under which they might blur. We will talk about how to create a safe environment and minimize the risk of causing additional harm.

Mitigating Against Vicarious Trauma
Tuesday October 8, 2024 15:00 - 15:50 CEST
Vicarious trauma is exposure to someone else’s trauma. Many journalists are exposed regularly to violent, distressing or graphic material in different forms of media - from videos to court reports, researching abuses, to hearing accounts from survivors of trauma.

One year on* from the start of the Israel-Gaza war, Headlines Network will explore how vicarious trauma has become a threat to newsrooms.

In this session, we will share individual experiences and insights, helping our colleagues recognise how to mitigate secondary trauma, and look after themselves and others if they are exposed.

Hannah Storm and John Crowley from Headlines Network have published a resource guide on vicarious trauma and will draw from this during this workshop.

Afinar el oído: Escuchar el tiempo
Tuesday October 8, 2024 18:30 - 19:20 CEST
Presencia, curiosidad y asombro. En esta actividad exploraremos temas de salud mental, agotamiento y exigencia en el periodismo, atravesados por la velocidad y preeminencia de las redes y la epidemia de desinformación. Esto lo haremos mediante técnicas contemplativas, journaling, diálogo generativo y activación creativa. También presentaremos “Nos une el medio”, una experiencia de sanación con la escritura co-creada por dos comunicadores colombianos, para luego tender un puente hacia una actividad práctica de creación narrativa de autoficción sobre el yo y cómo silenciar las voces que nos habitan para volver a escucharnos.

El poder de una pausa. ¿Cómo es tomarse un descanso en la carrera o un período sabático?
Tuesday October 8, 2024 19:30 - 20:20 CEST
¿Alguna vez pensaste en tomarte una pausa en tu carrera, descansar, tener más tiempo para pensar ideas o estar con tu familia y ver hacia dónde redirigir tu desarrollo profesional? 
Somos Gabi Manuli (GIJN) y Romina Colman (ex OCCRP) y ambas decidimos, en distintos contextos y por diferentes razones, parar. Después de más de una década en GIJN, Gabi se tomó un sabático de unos meses para bajar el ritmo, recargar energía y explorar nuevos caminos creativos. Romina, por su parte, renunció a su posición full-time para descansar, explorar otros proyectos, hacer actividades creativas y decidir su próximo paso. 
En esta sesión queremos compartir herramientas, aprendizajes y desafíos en nuestros recorridos. ¿Cómo resistir a la cultura de la productividad hasta en nuestro tiempo libre? ¿Qué aprendimos de estos meses?  Sabemos que tomarse un sabático, o renunciar a tu trabajo es un privilegio que no siempre es posible. Pero si creemos que todos podemos encontrar maneras de sumar un descanso en nuestro día a día.

TRE®: Ejercicios para la liberacion del estres y el trauma
Tuesday October 8, 2024 19:30 - 20:20 CEST
TRE es una serie de 7 ejercicios que ayuda a liberar la tensión profunda del cuerpo mediante un proceso de temblor muscular auto controlado. Este temblor, llamado Temblor Neurogénico, es un mecanismo natural para reestablecer el equilibrio del sistema nervioso liberando la energía que quedó bloqueada como consecuencia de la situación traumática o el estrés crónico.

TRE trabaja en sentido opuesto a los métodos tradicionales de tratamiento como la psicoterapia o la meditación. En lugar de modificar los patrones de pensamiento para llegar a la relajación, al relajar el cuerpo el estado emocional cambia, los pensamientos se modifican. Una vez aprendida, puede realizarse de manera autónoma y autogestiva permitiendo que el sistema nervioso, el cuerpo y las emociones recuperen un su natural armonia y flexibilidad.

Para una óptima experiencia de la sesión, pedimos a todas las personas participantes lo siguiente:
  • Preparar un espacio físico en el que puedan realizar ejercicios de pie y de suelo.
  • Tener un mat o manta para acostarse en el piso.
  • Usar ropa suelta
  • Tener a mano lo que consideren necesario para estar cómodos ( manta, almohadon , etc)

The Silly Session: Play as a Form of Self-Care
Wednesday October 9, 2024 15:00 - 15:50 CEST
In our fast-paced, productivity-driven world, we often forget the transformative power of play and the pleasure of embracing simple joys. This workshop invites participants to explore how integrating these elements into daily life can lead to greater creativity, joy, and connection.

Over 50 minutes, this workshop reclaims play, not as an escape from “real” work, but as a vital part of it. With our trademark gentle humor and light-heartedness, we'll lead simple, playful activities that participants can continue to implement in their day-to-day lives.

Join us in reclaiming the joy of play as a vital component of self-care and well-being.

Reorganizing Communication Tools to Reduce Stress Among Teams
Wednesday October 9, 2024 16:00 - 16:50 CEST
In recent years, AFP has used a variety of communication tools across different regions, departments, and individual preferences. This has led to a proliferation of tools, making internal communication complex. For instance, it was challenging to determine the appropriate channel for contacting someone, causing inefficiency and uncertainty about message reception. Employees also had to monitor multiple tools, leading to increased stress. To address these issues, AFP has decided to streamline and simplify its communication methods.
