Didactic methods

Lessons will be structured to foster interactivity and participation in the classroom; therefore, they will be characterised by face-to-face moments and cooperative work (exercises, simulations, in-depth thematic studies, etc.). In addition to the materials presented in class, further ones (videos, articles, etc.) will be shared. Case studies and testimonies will also be proposed in order to understand how the topics discussed are translated into the work practice of the educator in the various socio-educational contexts. Attendance is strongly recommended.
In the event of a COVID-19 contraction or need to quarantine, it is possible to have the lessons streamed, subject to presentation of a medical certificate.
