All of them have a role in education. What does it mean to be an educator and why pro-sociality plays a role in educational process? Studies on cognitive psychology show that the Prosocial behaviour fosters positive traits for children and society. Furthermore, encouraging the adoption of prosocial behaviours has positive effects on decreasing social conflicts.
Pro-sociality has a pedagogical relevance: this can act as a tool for empowering the social competences of students and as a catalyst in re-creating/strengthening inside and outside the school an Educating Caring Community, in terms of social expressions for youngsters‖ education and lifelong learning.

Studies show that the problems are still very similar (Christophersen ER, Mortweet SL. Building skills that last a lifetime. 2003) to those highlighted in analysis about the relationship between the space and the content of education. Adults with problems of social marginalisation are diffident towards the education and they generally believe that the skills needed for the life are better learnt out of the formal educative background. These categories of adults are in need of social skills as a basis to gain a better place into the society. The MOMA approach experimented and evaluated in national laboratories whose results are explained in this book, is based on the effort to overturn the traditional assumptions determining strong barrier to the involvement of vulnerable target groups in the formal educative systems. Rather before and in terms of social pedagogy these problems were clearly expressed by Freire in his very relevant book

Research paper thumbnail of State of the Art and Mapping of Competences Report

The Authors of the national reports gave all the documents and information on which the results and comments are based.
The National reports were realized by:
 CUP Consorzio Universitario Piceno (ITALY)
 Athens Chamber of Tradesmen (Greece)
 FVEM, Federación Vizcaína de empresas del metal (Spain)
The comments and the attempt of comparison are in full responsibility of the Authors of the Summary report. The primary idea that comes in mind when we thing to the so defined “art professions” or “creative professions” is related to the idea of defining, validating, maintaining, and reproducing certain categories of actions, related to what is generally accepted and defined as “cultural category of art and craft”, in order to produce an economic added value that it is clearly expected as “added” to the cultural and humanistic values.
The creative sector is distributed through a network of institutions (schools, museums, galleries, commercial market systems, and industries), all of which participate in constructing a global, international system or network of networks for Art and creativity.
The skills related to the Art world and to the creative sectors are thus part of the modern systems of competences, and many parts of these networks are now highly professionalized and organized in an industrial way.
The creative economy is difficult to define and measure. However, we have the opportunity to identify not totally satisfactory attempts to find common terminology and streamline statistical data. Furthermore, if we take into account the Cultural and Creative sector in all the EU Countries and in the rest of the world, matters become even more complex with diverse cultural issues fusing into other definitions.
Even if finding and investigating common definition is not the aim of this report, anyway this complicated debate is one of the reason of the fascination and specificity of the creative industries which ‘refuse to lie down and be measured like other sectors of the economy. And that is why economists and statisticians will probably never stop debating how to define them and how to estimate their worth’ (Newbegin 2010).
The rise of these cultural and creative sectors as an ‘industry’ has also brought resistance from numerous artists and creative practitioners who do not want to associate themselves or their work with the post-industrial consumerist conditions set by ‘industry’. They prefer to see themselves as individual creative practitioners who are closer to social activism and cultural value than industrial workmanship. Without undermining the social and intrinsic value of the cultural and creative sectors, which in themselves add value to the economic discourse for cultural and creative potential, those championing these sectors are also aware that the process of validation for the sector and its specificities cannot be approached without an ‘industry’ lens. This is the process which has revolutionised political agendas in the last decade and which set an important cultural agenda in numerous countries, regions and cities. The most successful managed to fuse the grassroots social and cultural values with the discourse on markets and growth.

La Prosocialità è caratterizzata da azioni di aiuto di cui il donatore non beneficia dei risultati.
Un comportamento prosociale perciò, può essere definito come una serie di azioni volontarie intese ad aiutare o beneficiare un altro individuo o un gruppo di persone senza alcuna aspettativa di ritorno in termini di benefici. Malgrado il ricevente si avvalga di un’azione prosociale, questa può anche risultare cara al donatore. Sorge così il la domanda se aiutare un altro a proprie spese. Quando si parla di comportamento prosociale, vengono enfatizzate le azioni esterne ed esplicite al contrario di quelle interne ed implicite delle azioni prosociali. Un’azione prosociale implica il miglioramento sia mentale che fisico di un individuo.
Il concetto di prosocialità risiede accanto al comportamento prosociale. Le basi scientifiche vengono chiaramente definite in ciò che viene chiamata “la teoria del gioco”, considerata uno dei maggiori contributi dell’economia sperimentale.

(insegnanti, allievi, personale amministrativo) e in special modo agli educatori affinché possano
gradualmente conoscere la filosofia che ad essa sottintende. Il comportamento prosociale (ossia un
comportamento atto a beneficiare volutamente un’altra persona) promuove degli aspetti positivi sia per i
ragazzi che per la società ed incoraggiarlo spesso implica dover attenuare o eliminare comportamenti
sociali indesiderati.

Research paper thumbnail of ROMA'S SMILE - EDUCATIVE MISURES FOR FOSTERING EDUCATION AND INCLUSION OF ROMA CHILDREN BASED ON PROSOCIALITY -MANUAL FOR TECHERS, EDUCATORS AND MEDIATORS

However, in many official documents it is underlined how it is impossible or very difficult to have an approach exclusively addressed to inclusion in education. In the documents there are various references to the different problems that interest the social life of the Roma communities in Europe. In that respect the four key policy pillars of health, education, housing and employment, define what is generally called “a
holistic approach to Roma inclusion”. A holistic approach implies taking into consideration elements of culture and identity into inclusion policies and programmes. Also, strategies dealing with Roma inclusion in the education system have to reflect different aspects in various contexts. The aspects to be considered in the framework of the holistic approach to Roma inclusion are:
- Education - to ensure that all Roma children complete at least primary school and have access to quality
education.
- Employment – to reduce the employment gap between Roma and the rest of the population.
- Healthcare – to reduce the gap in the health status between the Roma and the rest of the population.
Also, to give the essential sanitary assistance to those that live in poverty.
- Housing and essential services – to close the gap between the share of Roma with access to housing and
public utilities and that of the rest of the population.
This manual is the result of the products and experimentations carried out within the SMILE project. By taking in consideration the above mentioned aspects, the project tried to increase of the recognition and respect of the Roma culture. Moreover, it took into account that communities are composed by individuals who have their own individual goals, needs and ambitions.

in science education in both Europe and North America. When the issue is related to the civil
protection, the problem seems to be limited to a “how-to-do” tasks to be activated in case of an
emergency in a certain situation specifically related to an occurring disasters.
This view restricts civil protection to the boundary of practical exercises and takes it out the circle
of pedagogic actions. The first effort should be adapt the civil protection issue to the field of
scientific education and consider it as a potential section of science education in all the school
degrees. This article intends to present civil protection education as a part of the scientific studies in
school in order to accompany the effect and the impact of all these activities strictly related to
behaviours and strategy to put into action in case of natural and manmade disaster, such as
exercises, drills and practical simulations.

Based on
knowledge, expertise and innovation it aims to build a culture of safety and resilience for education.
The selection of these elements of excellence was realized by a SWOT matrix analysis and will form the basis of the decision-making process for the establishment of a teaching program for disasters.

Religions have narratives, symbols, traditions, and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin of life or the universe.
In almost all the languages of the world it is possible to find words that have the same meaning of the English word for “religion”. However, the way the concept is conceived can appear very different and some have no word for religion at all. For example, the Sanskrit word "dharma," sometimes translated as “religion” also means “law”. Throughout classical South Asia, the study of law consisted of concepts such as penance through piety and ceremonial and practical traditions. Medieval Japan at first had a similar union between "imperial law" and universal or "Buddha law," but these later became independent sources of power. This leads Mircea Eliade to present a tautological explanation of what we intend as sacred, defined as that which is not profane; reflecting on his use of the term “profane” to encompass anything which is absolutely not sacred, he would have been better off defining sacred as anything that is not non-sacred. However, he prefers to stretch the definitions of words at will in order to make himself more legitimate and mask his inability to actually define what is sacred (though it is perhaps only definable in a tautological manner, as something relative to its inverse)

Le conclusioni di Freire sono a favore della applicazione di una specifica pedagogia e di una conseguente didattica “speciale” volta a rendere meno evidenti questi ostacoli e a creare un ambiente di apprendimento in grado di rispondere alle esigenze degli adulti. Ma, se la tradizione educativa mostra che le questioni sollevate da una didattica inclusiva sono sono ben evidenti agli autori e pedagogisti (Knowls e al.), la conseguente potenziale rivoluzione dei metodi in termini di prevenire i concreti rischi di un approccio didattico non dedicato agli adulti può risultare essere solo una rivoluzione di carta. Il progetto Moma ha dunque l’ambizione di prendere conclusioni accertate e sperimentate: quelle della didattica montessoriana, per suggerire un cambiamento di target verticale ed uno orizzontale: cambiare destinatari, che diventano gli adulti; cambiare prospettiva e definire i contenuti in termini di “apprendimento durante tutto l’arco della vita” I risultati attesi su cui si basano le ipotesi all’origine di questo progetto sono, dunque, la proposta di una efficace applicazione della didattica di Maria ed Alice a gruppi target vulnerabili, le cui difficoltà di essere coinvolti in un percorso educativo formale può avere origine anche nella resistenza culturale degli adulti e dalla loro sfiducia verso l’educazione come chance di avere un futuro migliore. Naturalmente, il metodo Montessori deve essere pensato in un contesto diverso, soprattutto tenendo conto dell'influenza che la comunicazione sociale e le tecnologie hanno anche nella trasmissione di conoscenza degli adulti rispetto alle variegate derivazioni culturali che essi rappresentano.
