The Words of the Excluded

Kostas Bairaktaris, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Thessaloniki’s Aristotle University, gave over the teaching of his course to “excluded” groups, i.e., people who have been treated at psychiatric hospitals, inmates from the Diavata Prison (both male and female), the disabled, the unemployed, former drug addicts, and immigrants. In this way, the excluded relate their experiences and their thoughts to the students. The aim of this lesson is to open the university to society. A further action involves creating solidarity groups among the students in support of the groups of excluded. This type of college course is a worldwide first for Aristotle University. The documentary follows these two actions.
