Inclusive Safety at School: How to Train Teachers

Abstract

The paper presents the activities proposed for the course “Safety at school”, organized by the University of Macerata and Safety Education Training Agency Association. Six workshops held by university professors and other experts focused on the topic of inclusive safety both at school and in the city. Both prospective and in-service teachers attended together these classes, in order to provide the opportunity of exchanging ideas and on the field experiences. The idea of the course was conceived following the earthquakes that struck in central Italy the 24th of August and the 26th and 30th of October 2016 to offer new conceptual and practical instruments to deal with the topic of safety at school
