You'll probably want to pull out the values in a controller class or method, and pass it to your view.

Slim Docs - Pass data to a view

I don't think slim has a 'session wrapper' by default, so you'll be calling the session super global to get out your values - 

<?php

$_SESSION['some-key'] // some value.

So you could do something like

<?php

$app->view->setData('first_name', $_SESSION['user']['first_name']);

yes! you are right thanks!. now probably i can get the variable first_name as you described there and pass it through my controller , probably with the render function, and then just by doing {{ first_name }} in my twig template i will have my Session variable. Thanks, i will look at it later.
