Narrative guidance as a tool to empower student’s resilience

Stories are constituent parts of day-to-day life: every day we are put in front of thousands of narrative stimuli coming from narrative agencies (television, videogames, news, etc...). The stories, when used self-consciously, can become extraordinary tools enabling to put in order and to give sense to our experiences, to imagine the future and face choices, to build our own identity and that of the group we are part of. The narrative guidance is a method for the self-development of people and the development of guidance competencies for communities, using narration and stories. Method Today resilience appears as a construct capable of predicting, to a certain extent, the ability of the subjects to resist the different pressures and the strong events and changes that today's society entails. The pressures and discontinuities on the paths of the subjects are considerable and thus increase the risk of abandonment of the paths of education.
