The European Network Education and Training in Occupational Safety and Health (ENETOSH) is supporting the Autoridade para as Condições do Trabalho (ACT) in the framework of the MIND SAFETY – SAFETY MATTERS! ERASMUS+ project. This project aims to establish an interface between teacher education, professional training and learning contexts in occupational safety and health. It will help to improve and innovate methods of teaching safety and health issues in the classroom, to motivate and prepare young people to work in safe conditions, and to be responsible citizens after leaving school.
The project will also promote teachers’ active involvement and active participation in their own training, to test, experiment, develop and implement methodologies and tools in school, enhancing the quality and relevance of the learning process, innovating practices for improving teaching competences and abilities in order to deliver occupational safety and health issues.
Practical outcomes of the project, which is a cooperation of Autoridade para as Condições do Trabalho (PT), Universidade de Aveiro (PT), AFTEBI - Associação para a Formação Tecnológica e Profissional da Beira Interior (PT), The National Research and Development Institute of Occupational Safety (INCDPM)(ROM), Výzkumný ústav bezpecnosti práce Praha (CZ), Technische Universiteit Delft (NL) and Universitat de Girona (ESP), will be an OSH Teacher Education Reference Guide, a Practical Guide for teachers (OSH! What a bright idea!) and a booklet for students.
