The Social Educator's role in healthcare is to plan and implement a set of educational activities promoting the global development and positive social integration of individuals of all ages, who experience distress arising from: psycho-physical disability, relational disorders, environmental disadvantage, deviance, families in distress and marginalisation. The Educator's role is to promote the psychological, relational and environmental conditions favourable to the growth potential and independence of individuals in need.

Students will be offered modules in pedagogical, psychological, psychiatric, sociological and medical studies, which will allow them to acquire the skills required to interpret and understand the needs of the targeted individuals - especially those in distress -, develop the ability to design a pedagogical life plan, develop relational skills, i.e. the awareness of being part of inter-personal and group relations, aimed at establishing a professional work environment and the ability to work as a team.

Lessons are held in Italian.
