Abstract

Transform-Actions with the Reflective Citizens Method (RC), open to anybody and anywhere without charge, are unique ongoing psycho-social processes in joint creativity with and among people endeavoring to learn to listen to the other, find voice, transform hate into dialogue and into humanity initiatives in the RC “Koinonia” fields. On its three decades long developmental journeys (from Serbia, Bosnia, Slovenia, to Poland, Italy, Greece, USA, Ireland, UK, international branches, online, hybrid, etc) it often discovers sibling work communities also dealing with inter-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary, and complexity.  Although indeed nurturing curiosity, flexibility, adaptation, resilience and hope, in current global destructiveness with dismantling of social tissue, we need even more to hold hands and work harder in further levels of transform-Actions. Turin was also the first RC land in 2019, from where began the spreading of the growing number of other Italian RC communities.  Inter-fertilization with RC and its sibling fields might intensify our caring for the future in creative imaginary or making real new transform-Actions – so much needed for all of us, professionals and citizens.
