Psychology for All Series resumes with new interesting talks for academic year 2018-19
The successful ‘Psychology for All’ series of the International Faculty’s Psychology Department restarted for academic year 2018-19 with more interesting topics. The first event of the year was presented on 30 November 2018 by Mr Petros Theodorou, Gestalt Psychotherapist, who delivered a two-hour talk on ‘The Sexual Self: The body’s pleasure or prison?”. In his presentation Mr. Theodorou explained that despite the evolution of the human intellect, we always have the tendency to reconnect to primary sexual self. He then went on to discuss how this internal force sometimes becomes pleasurable and sometimes imprisonment. The audience found the topic particularly interesting and had the opportunity to ask questions to the speaker at the end of his presentation. The Psychology Department of the University of Sheffield International Faculty CITY College has been running successfully for almost a decade (since 2009) the ‘Psychology for All’ open seminar series at our main campus in Thessaloniki. The series hosts 1-hour talks by different guest speakers specialising in different psychology topics. The ‘Psychology for All’ series takes place within the Department’s and the International Faculty’s public engagement activities aiming at giving back to the community. Mr Evangelos Sepetis, Psychologist, Psychodynamic Therapist and Director of Postgraduate Programmes in Counselling Psychology at the International Faculty CITY College is responsible for the organisation of the 'Psychology for All' series.

New 50+ Technology project to help seniors in embracing touchscreen technology
A new 50+ Hellas Technology project was launched recently, this time focusing on seniors’ education in touchscreen technology. Led by the founder Mr George Pavlidis, Lecturer at our Psychology Department and PhD Candidate in Gerontology, the programme aims at enhancing the digital integration of older people into modern communication and information methods, thus reduce the likelihood of social exclusion and loneliness at this age. This is achieved by helping seniors use technology and consequently embracing communication and information. Participants will learn to use tablet technologies, Internet use, e-mail, and social media as well as other applications that will make their daily lives easier in a rapidly changing world. Photo credits: THESSNEWS Mr Pavlidis said “The experience of ‘social exclusion’ can be painful". Perhaps this explains older peoples’ thirst to learn new technologies. The pleasant surprise is that "cyberseniors" are great students of new technology, as long as they are taught in a specific way. Classes must include fun, simplicity, structure, repetition, and positivity.” As he describes, even for him it would be painful to live in a society where communication and information were based on technological media if he had no access to them. The team behind the project comprises our psychology postgraduate student, Georgia Papaioannou as well, Lina Tzani, graduate from our Psychology Department and Ms Anna Paraschou, Agronomist at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The project is led by the founder Mr George Pavlidis, and supported by The Municipality of Thessaloniki, 50+ Hellas, and COSMOTE.
