Lesson timetable

Learning outcomes

Main aims of the course are to make clear terms and conditions about some contemporary issues, as concept of “inclusive citizenship”, and “educational and training special needs” in actual historical time. By some global themes, as the UN Convention of the Right of Persons with Disabilities, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, the social and lawmaking debates in some of EU Countries, students will learn some expertises required to project and lead adult trainings in organizations where there are people with special needs.
The goal of the course is the awareness that welfare system assessment is in a quick and radical change, in a “crisis” that is not necessarily a limit, but it can show new prospectives.
