Urban Informal Settlements

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how young residents in two Indonesian kampungs (urban informal settlements) participate in two grassroots art festivals and to what extent their participation affects their capacity and network. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a qualitative method. The data collection were done in 2017 and took the form of in-depth semi-structured interviews with 15 respondents in two kampungs, Kampung Dago Pojok, Bandung, and Kampung Bustaman, Semarang. Findings The results show that the grassroots festival can empower youth throughout its process while also influencing their networks. The festival could act as the catalyst for youth to gain event management skills and exchange cultural knowledge. This study also found that there are two sides the art festivals can bring to the youth regarding their network: while the festival was able to develop their internal and external network, it also led to social division within the community. Originality/value The originality of this paper lies in the context of the research where it contributes to understanding the implications of community-based art festivals in the developing context, particularly in the low-income informal settlements. The paper’s content also provides insights that festivals can also be understood as more than place marketing or branding but as collections of steps and efforts of the community to provide meaningful actions for their place and people.

Group Programme

A behaviourally based Programme was developed to assist parents with problem children. The Programme was intended for the typical social service clientele of single parent, low income or state benefit families and may be administered by social workers or assistants conversant with the Programme Manual. The Programme consists of six 90 min sessions run at weekly intervals during which a variety of behavioural techniques are taught, largely through role play, with a seventh follow up session a month later.The Programme was evaluated by a range of before and after measures on both a treatment group and a waiting list control group and maintenance of treatment gains was tested at three and, for some measures, six months interval. The Programme significantly reduced: the perceived number and intensity of child behaviour problems; parental depression, inward irritability and outward irrirability; and the level of perceived chlid conduct problems, impulsivity and anxiety. It significantly improved parents' chlid management skills. Improvement in parental depression and irritability was maintained at three months and reduction in chlid beviour problems was tested for and found at both three and six months.

Before And After

Nowadays in conditions of economic instability and educational policy fragility, particularly in social conflict and crisis contexts, special attention is paid to the increasing teachers` stress resistance and prevention of their burnout. The aim of the research is to assess effectiveness of self-hypnosis in stress reduction. Material and methods: group of educational personnel were completing the questionnaires about stress level before and after self-hypnosis training during 3 months. Stress indicators were measured with the help of mobile app Samsung S Health and anxiety and mood scales. Regular self-hypnosis training and stress measurement during 3 months represent improvement of stress management skills in all participants. Among the most important results achieved in this experiment: decreased anxiety level, increased stress resistance and development of personal effectiveness skills. So self-hypnosis can be represented as cheap, effective, rapid and safe method of self-regulation in every day practice.
