Cover text

Peter Lang and Jesper Juul are supervisors, educators and family therapists working all over Europe.

In this unique interview they talk about actions as invitations and the move from power discussions to respectful language. They discuss how adults could learn from children and how Ability Spotting can change perspectives and create amazing changes. A change of meta-language can create equal dignity in pedagogic relations.

How can we create genuine relations and give space for personal integrity, when we assume people are doing the best they can to cope with their lives? How can we create the best environment for learning and development? This and many other topics are discussed between Peter Lang, Peter’s little Elf “Parkinson” and Jesper Juul.

For almost two hours you can enjoy the co-creation of valuable, reflexive dialogues that can inspire teachers, pedagogues, supervisors, psychologists, students as well as engaged parents and others who are occupied by respectful and appreciative language and relations.

If you watch this DVD through the metaphor of a “gold digger” you can go through it again and again and find new gold every time. That is my experience as interviewer and humble listener to this amazing dialogue.
