星空传媒 (AUR) is hosting a unique interdisciplinary workshop, "Dreaming Rome 2024," organized by Professor Kristien de Neve as part of the BA Fine Arts Art Therapy program. In collaboration with the International Institute for Psychoanalytic Research and Training of Health Professionals (IIPRTHP), this immersive two-part event invites students to explore the intersection of film, dreams, and psychological insight, offering a fresh perspective on Rome and the human subconscious.

Taking place on November 14-15, the workshop begins with a screening of the classic film听Roman Holiday听(1951) in AUR's auditorium, followed by a "guided social dreaming" session the next morning. Students, particularly those studying abroad or new to Rome, are encouraged to attend, especially those interested in film, psychology, or art therapy. The guided social dreaming, a process pioneered by psychologist Gordon Lawrence, allows students to share their dreams influenced by the film and engage in a collective interpretation, revealing shared themes and associations. Facilitated by a team of psychologists and film experts from AUR and IIPRTHP, this experience is intended to help students reflect on their personal and collective responses to Rome and its cinematic portrayal.
听
More than just a film screening, "Dreaming Rome" is designed to foster connection and insight among participants. It blends art and psychology to deepen students' cultural and self-awareness and cultivate empathy, communication, and emotional intelligence鈥攕kills valuable both within and beyond their academic pursuits.
