Towards a Reflective Practice through transnational study visits

My Time Logo

My Time is an independent counselling practice based in the inner city ward of Small Heath, Birmingham.

Birmingham and Solihull Learning Skills Council and Birmingham City Council European Department worked with the other EU partners in developing the concept of professional workers (working with asylum seekers) undertaking study visits that would develop a transnational model of reflecting practice.

A reflective approach to professional practice involves changes in the way we usually perceive our practice and can produce changes in attitudes and awareness which can benefit professional growth.

While experience alone can be insufficient for such growth, that experience coupled with reflection can be a powerful impetus for development. The ultimate aim was to reflect how professional workers working with asylum seekers could learn from each other and directly change their practice.
