Social health education and training: 1st Italian international conference – Rovereto

The Conference will take place in Rovereto, from January 30^th to January 31^st, 2015, at the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science of the University of Trento (conference language: English and Italian)

(For the professions of Italian Social Health Educators, the Conference has been recognized as ECM event with 15 credit)

The Italian university research in the field of Social Health Education is still at an early stage, yet internationally oriented.

In this sector expertise and creativity in the practice are widespread and regard various sectors involved in the social-educational activity aiming at protecting the fundamental rights of individuals facing social and health difficulties, independently on their age and gender. Such fundamental rights regard the right to access: education, health, subsistence, training, social inclusion, culture, vocational training and work. Today these goals seem to be harder and harder to achieve, not only in Italy but also in other areas of the world, because of economic policies and financial globalisation factors which have worsened the economic and social inequalities at global level.

This conference aims at starting a comparison among the research activities carried out in Italy and in various European countries, to facilitate the academic internationalization processes, both in the field of training and of research.
