The aim of the project is to start an action-research process for Social Health Education in support of experiential and phenomenological intervention methodologies which are open and flexible to the needs of the territory.

The research project wants to integrate, also by comparing contents and methodologies used by social health educators, teachers, researchers and experts, the acquisition of knowledge concerning the results of application of the fundamental levels of competencies which refer to the following classes of learning objectives:

1. Intellectual objectives (area of “knowledge” –theoretical level): identifying the main information concerning the object of study (literature, subject, group, territory) and the corresponding research strategies;

2. Emotional objectives (area of the “to know how to be” –experiential level of personal growth): enhancement, improvement and phenomenological application of personal, relational and communicative educational competencies;

3. Operational objectives (area of the “to know how to do” –practical-experiential level): testing of specific professional competencies within structured working realities, aiming at knowing “how to make somebody do something”.

Moreover, thanks to its innovative processes and products, the project also aims at achieving:
4. Communicative objectives (area of the “to know how to talk” –cultural level): offering examples of awareness-raising initiatives that can be reproduced and transferred to other contexts also thanks to scientific and cultural dissemination.
