The second annual edition of the 'Sunflowers in Motion' project, conceived by Dr. Annamaria Ascione - Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist, at the II Circle of Pompeii, thanks to the sensitivity of the headmistress Anna Maria Cioffi and the Dsga Alessandro Leone, is starting.
This year, the elementary classes of the 'I tre ponti' headquarters will be involved, which has a complex student body characterized by the particular need for preventive work against bullying phenomena and in favor of social inclusion.
Recognized as an example of Humanization of Care by the Order of Doctors of Naples and conducted as an experimental study at the Master in Medical Humanities of the Suor Orsola Benincasa University, for the attention to Innovations of the Department Director Professor Paola Villani, 'Sunflowers in Motion' is scientifically supported by Assimefac, Association and Scientific Society of Family and Community Medicine - National Agenas Provider.
'The project is based on the principles of Narrative and preventive Medicine applied to institutional contexts such as school - explains Dr. Annamaria Ascione - and is innovative for the application of neuropsychomotor methodologies in a non-rehabilitative field. Through play and body movement, children learn to recognize themselves, their own body and that of others, their own emotions and those of others, to respect and value the differences of all as aspects to include and not to reject'.
The project relies on the expertise of Dr. Federica Di Paolo - Psychologist and Neuropsychomotorist of the Evolutionary Age: 'The activities that are carried out during the journey arise from the awareness that children have a strong need to know and explore the reality that surrounds them through the body and movement. - explains Dr. Di Paolo - With the help of game situations, we create a stimulating environment that offers the child the opportunity to have meaningful playful experiences from a motor, cognitive and relational point of view'.
With 'Sunflowers In Motion' the commitment of Dr. Annamaria Ascione and the Anima Iris team to the concrete needs of the population in the evolutionary age, to the prevention and management of current social plagues is confirmed.
