SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVE AND DISCUSSION FORUM
To effectively address territorial and social challenges in the face of climate-related disasters, a solid theoretical framework is essential. For this reason, input from three experts in different scientific disciplines will be compiled, examining concepts such as climate change, impact, and the risks faced by communities.
In addition, a discussion forum will be held, bringing together project partners, experts, and the educational community to explore the opportunities and obstacles that vulnerable communities encounter when responding to natural disasters.
CASE STUDIES:
Synthesis Document
A document will be produced summarising the findings from three local case studies:
-
Cultural Association Habitare (Spain)
-
Cultural Association L’Aquila Reale (Italy)
-
New Hand Lab Centre (Portugal)
This material will analyse the unique challenges and experiences observed in each region, proposing effective methods for managing and mitigating environmental and territorial impacts. In addition, it will offer recommendations for future initiatives and strategies to be applied in other communities, promoting knowledge exchange and collaboration.
CONCEPTUAL AND METHODOLOGICAL TRAINING FOR TEACHERS
There will be two in-person training sessions for teachers in Spain and Italy, focusing on providing conceptual and methodological tools to facilitate the implementation of resilience and adaptation strategies in the face of disasters. These sessions will promote educational innovation, incorporating active teacher participation in constructing applicable knowledge for the classroom.
STUDENT MOBILITY (Italy)
This activity facilitates student exchanges among participating institutions. Twelve students and three teachers will have the chance to travel to Italy, share experiences, and learn within diverse contexts, strengthening their understanding of natural disaster management and resilience through interactive activities.
PILOT IMPLEMENTATION:
Workshops in Educational Centres
Each participating institution will host workshops aimed at promoting conceptual mastery, skill development, and personal growth among students. Active involvement and experiential learning will be encouraged through observation, guided discovery, and collaborative work. The project anticipates the participation of 50 students and 15 teachers, as well as collaboration with the three organisations from Spain, Italy, and Portugal.
MULTIPLIER EVENTS
Local multiplier events will be organised in Spain, Italy, and Portugal to disseminate the project’s results and encourage dialogue with the educational community, local authorities, and other interested stakeholders. These gatherings will facilitate the exchange of best practices and the establishment of collaborative networks to ensure continuity of the resilience and social transformation initiatives promoted by the project.
