Rosemary Bechler (RB): Please first introduce yourself to openDemocracy readers.
Phil Wood (PW): I’m Phil Wood and I am an urban therapist: (I think I am the urban therapist – there are no others I know of.) I come from Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, where I live, where I was born and will die. I am one of the co-founders of the intercultural cities model which underpins this event and the Council of Europe programme.
RB: How did you put yourself in the position of being able to kick off this whole new vocabulary for our times?
