The workshop aims to examine the challenges faced by younger generations today — challenges that can turn into processes of “modern” vulnerability, adding to traditional forms still present, such as those linked to social class, gender, migration background, and disability.

These conditions appear capable of generating demotivation, loss of meaning, and a lack of future perspectives. The workshop will also explore possible pathways within our university contexts, in the light of eco-social justice principles, to weave and reweave new intergenerational alliances that can revive the value and energy of education, training, and intellectual engagement — for the co-construction of inclusive and high-quality societies for everyone.

Speakers
Laura Nota – Full Professor of Developmental and Educational Psychology at the University of Padua, where she directs the La.R.I.O.S. Laboratory (Research and Intervention Laboratory for Career Guidance).
Sara Santilli – Associate Professor of Developmental and Educational Psychology at the University of Padua and member of the La.R.I.O.S. Laboratory.

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an innovative teaching methodology, ideal for university lecturers who wish to go beyond the limits of traditional lectures and make their courses more engaging and effective. Based on collaborative work, TBL promotes active learning through structured team activities that stimulate critical thinking and the solving of real-world problems.

This approach enhances student participation, fosters both individual and group responsibility, and supports a deeper understanding of course content.

During this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to experience a TBL module from the student’s perspective and reflect on the key features of the method. By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Explain how and why TBL works
• Discuss the benefits and challenges of TBL
• Identify its critical components

Speaker
Marina Di Carro – Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Genoa. She is a member of the Steering Committee of the European Team-Based Learning Collaborative (ETBLC), the European section of the TBLC, where she serves as the Italian representative.
