Requests for the reception of international groups in Serviços Zerosei

The ZeroSei Educational Services of the City of Bologna open the door to the dimension of comparison also through the reception of teachers, educators, pedagogists and experts on topics of interest to schools in mobility from other European countries as part of the Erasmus+ Program.

Hosting staff from schools in other cities and countries means benefiting from comparison and openness to different cultures, languages, educational and teaching systems and practices. This is a high-impact experience for all educational services.

These are opportunities to create a reciprocal exchange that allows us to activate reflections and nourish pedagogical research around the culture of childhood and education, highlighting both the characteristics of our educational system and its institutional and regulatory framework, and the importance of a vision extended to other countries and innovative approaches.

Informal opportunities for visits and exchanges can also result in collaborations or projects that are more articulated or focused on particular themes, between different European countries. The possibility of creating networks and mutual knowledge means nurturing research and innovation in support of the widespread quality of services for children.

How it works

The visits take place in kindergartens, kindergartens, centers for children and families, territorial educational services.
Staff mobility activities (job shadowing or other types of projects) can be agreed according to the projects of the requesting accredited bodies and always include a meeting to define together the training objectives of the activities.
Visits to the ZeroSEI Services can take place over one or more days and include moments of dialogue and mutual comparison. Meetings may be organized with a representative of the City Pedagogical Coordination for advice and collaboration on research issues or for possible proposals for collaboration in larger projects for the development of good practices or educational innovation.
Visits can also be requested by Italian service groups, using the same online form.
