MONDAY
Cultural interventions and behavioral change:
A conceptual framework
Speaker
Venue
Pierluigi Sacco
Auditorium rettorato
11.45 – 12:45
Abstract
In my presentation we will discuss how currently mainstream behavioral
change approaches such as nudging build upon an artificial and
paternalistic approach to human behavioral change, and how, instead,
cultural interventions can be seen as an alternative paradigm that
naturally taps into several hundreds of thousands of years of
biobehavioral programming. Cultural interventions refer to activities with
an intentional aesthetic purpose such as artmaking, song or dance,
which are not simply leisure activities but powerful platforms for
biobehavioral programming, whose cognitive and emotional grammar is
naturally intelligible for people. We will discuss some of the current
neuroscientific evidence behind this claim and will review some concrete
examples. We will also briefly elaborate on the policy implications and
the prospects for future research and experimentation.

11:00 – 12:00
Abstract
In this presentation we will take a look at the evolving landscape of
psychiatry and critically examine the difference between neurodiversity,
mental health conditions, psychiatric disorders and diseases of the mind.
Illustrious cases from the past will be used to describe what happened
when the brain fails to transform perception, memories and emotions
into feelings and actions. Finally the results of the 1930s Peckham
experiment will be discussed in light of what happened during Covid-19
to understand how “mental health is more than just an absence of
disease, but a process that has to be cultivated if it is to thrive”.

Defining and assessing happiness
and mental health
Speaker
Venue
Antonella Delle Fave
Auditorium rettorato
12:00 – 13:00
Abstract
The current global situation calls for new conceptual models of
happiness and mental health. The predominant maximization
perspective must leave room to a sustainable view, based on the analysis
of the individual-environment interaction under unstable and ceaselessly
evolving circumstances. The recent evidence of harmony and balance as
core dimensions of happiness, both at the intrapsychic and interpersonal
levels, may contribute to this change in perspective by
promoting a more sustainable and constructive interaction between
individuals, among societies, and with the natural environment.

MONDAY
New technologies, new resources on the
teaching-learning of roman law
Speaker
Venue
María José Azaustre Fernandez
Aula 1 Polo Didattico di Lettere
17:00 – 18:00
This innovation project has consisted of several activities with the aim of
favouring the acquisition and development of students’ basic skills, their
approach to legal sources and their motivation towards Roman Law. With this
experience we have tried to show how it is possible to conjugate the classic
objectives of the learning of Roman Law -to provide
the knowledge of Roman legal institutions as a means of acquiring the entire
conceptual basis that will be needed in the study of the rest of the legal
subjects and for the understanding of comparative Law – with modern
technologies, which provide a learning environment with which the current
student is more familiar. These are the activities that have been developed: 1)
Carrying out a pilot experience for the application of COIL methodology,
which promotes development of student competences through online
collaborative learning environments between different universities, in the
subject of Roman Law. This year it has been carried out with students of the
Business Administration and Law Double Degree, with the possibility of
extending it in future years to other students and subjects; 2) Continuation of
the task of creating a database of questions and answers to reinforce the
contents of both theoretical and practical classes through the application of
gamification resources such as Kahoot and Socrative. While kahoot was
mainly used to reinforce theoretical classes, Socrative was mainly used for
practical classes and to carry out the “Pass the word” game as a resource for
revision before exams. 3) Continuation and improvement of the trial
simulation technique, given its good reception in previous years. The
simulation has followed the agere per formulas and the cognitio extra
ordinem procedure, depending on the year. The students were previously
trained in the search for jurisprudence containing Roman Law sources in
specialized databases. 4) Divulgation of the innovation activity, through the
organisation of teaching innovation congresses and the drafting of articles.

higher education
Speaker
Venue
Marcel Roman
Aula 1 Polo Didattico di Lettere
18:00 – 19:00
The MathE project is the result of the collaboration between five
universities from Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Lithuania, and Romania. The
main goals of the project were to enhance the quality of general
teaching and assessment methods, to identify students’ gaps in maths,
provide appropriate digital resources and enhance transnational sharing
of innovative teaching methods. A digital platform enables the students
to perform self-evaluation tests and search for correct answers on the
Online Math Library or the video lessons, while professors can organize
online evaluation sessions of the students. Both students and teachers
can discuss and exchange opinions on two dedicated channels in the
platform.

Simulation-based learning can be thought of as “a circle of learning”
experience, observation/reflection, generalization, experimentation.
Simulation teaching method is effective. Students’ confidence in their
own skills grows when using the method. Decision-making and critical
thinking improves. In the workshop participants will hear how to
simulate and why debriefing process is in the center role. After workshop
all participants receive basic knowledge how to perform debriefing
session from the perspective of simulation pedagogy. How to give nonjudgmental feedback. In addition, participants understand the meaning
of student feedback, that how to immediately change or improve level of
teaching or simulation.
The VR Classroom – A Hands-On Experience for
Learning and Teaching in Immersive Virtual
Reality
Speaker
Venue
Matthias Wölfel & Daniel Hepperle
Aula 1 Polo Didattico di Lettere
17:00 – 18:00
Virtual Reality opens up promising possibilities for learning and teaching.
In order to explore this potential, a cross-faculty lecture on Virtual
Reality (VR) at the University of Applied Sciences Karlsruhe, Germany,
was transferred from a traditional lecture format with frontal teaching to
a virtual space. To participate in the interactive lectures, students can
borrow a head-mounted display (HMD) for one semester (in total we can
hand out 60 HMDs). Our workshop will present the lessons we have
learned from teaching in our self-developed inversive environment for
almost three semesters. We will present the do’s and don’ts, and
participants will have the opportunity to try out our self-developed VRClassroom using the HMDs we will bring to the conference.
Constructively aligning lesson design and
assessment in order to meet inclusive
education learning outcomes
Speaker
Venue
Kallia Katsampoxaki-Hodgetts
Aula 1 Polo Didattico di Lettere
18:00 – 19:00
The workshop is addressed to teachers who wish to identify potential
learning barriers, align their syllabus components and/or lesson plans
and assessment in order to meet inclusive education learning outcomes.
Participants will be given opportunities to reflect on learning barriers and
will choose strategies they wish to integrate into their teaching so as to
include more opportunities for access, participation and achievement of
academic goals for all students. University teachers will also have the
opportunity to exchange good practice and sustainable approaches to
supporting all students while avoiding labelling. Being aware of the
potential learning barriers to learning, making the most of students’
differences and providing appropriate systems to support students in
their learning, participants will be able to adapt their teaching and
learning practices in order to ensure motivation, representation,
responsibility, active involvement, learning of all students and student
progress.

Workshop is divided in to two topics: an innovative approach to
assessment and feedback on internships and Teaching and Learning Unit
support for Innovation. Participants of the workshop will be able to
describe innovative approaches to internship application preparation and
internship feedback. Participants can also describe supports provided by
Teaching and Learning Unit for supporting innovative activites by
teaching staff and value importance of feedback for students, selfreflection / self-assessment, exemplars ad rubrics.
Teaching of public health in medical
univerisities

Aula 1 Polo Didattico di Lettere
15:30 – 16:30
The lack of medical experts in the health care system in Bulgaria and
their increasing duties and responsibilities in the last years have led to
the need of new approaches in their training. Some of these approaches
are: practical training since the beginning in 13 university hospitals,
communication skills, bioethical training and long-term E-learning. The
healthcare services of rural areas in Bulgaria appear diverse, variations
and heterogeneity. A common solution in this complex environment is to
create data-driven clinical guidelines that set a standard for paediatric
patient care in the Emergency Department, including well-documented
interventions for the clinical decision-making process in a specific group
of patients and over a clearly defined period. The growth of e-learning
technologies and e-methods makes possible the delivery of this
knowledge to rural areas.
Playing to learn. The role of Game-Oriented
Learning in higher education
Speaker
Venue
Judit Vari & Emilien Lecoffre
Aula 1 Polo Didattico di Lettere
17:00 – 18:00
Over the past decade, URN teams have developed various materials,
including video games, cardboard supports and role-play exercises, and
have sometimes conducted research on these experiments. The first part
of the workshop will be devoted to the experimentation of a serious
game by the participants and the second part of the workshop will be
devoted to the presentation of an experimentation of a device
integrated into a teaching in order to present the benefits but also the
difficulties in their implementation. The purpose of this 2nd part will be
to think collectively about the possibilities offered within the framework
of INGENIUM to develop these types of materials.
From Passive to Active Learning and from
Summative to Formative Feedback:
Mentimeter use in the classroom
Speaker
Venue
Ines Nikši?
Aula 1 Polo Didattico di Lettere
18:00 – 19:00
Effective teaching methods are essential for learning to be successful.
Engaging students through participatory activities could prove to be
especially challenging when dealing with heterogenous groups of
students, or with large groups in general. This workshop aims to show
the effectiveness of using Mentimeter, a web-based interaction tool that
allows real-time audience participation and feedback. The students need
only internet access on any device, making this a simple and easily
available digital tool for teaching aiming to enhance student’s
engagement. During the workshop, first-hand experience is shared of
how Mentimeter has been pilot used, and will be used systematically
from next term, in Swedish Language class aimed for International and
Exchange Students. By the end of the workshop, participants should be
able to confidently use Mentimeter in their classes to create an engaging
and interactive learning environment and see the benefits of it.

delicious light lunch in a very special venue with our guest of
AURORA VALORI & SAPORI.
After lunch join us for an afternoon filled with fun, laughter, and friendly
competition as we embark on the ultimate adventure of building and
racing our very own boats made entirely out of cardboard!
This unique activity will not only challenge our engineering prowess but
also provide a fantastic opportunity to strengthen our bonds as a
member of this great project.
No prior boat-building experience is required; all you need is enthusiasm
and a can-do spirit!
We will provide all the necessary materials, including cardboard, duct
tape, and tools, to construct your masterpiece.
However, we encourage you to bring your creative ideas and design skills
to the table.
Here’s a sneak peek at what awaits us during the Carton Boat Challenge:
1. Team Formation: We will divide into teams of about 10 and assign
each team a designated boat-building area.
2. Construction Phase: Using the provided materials, each team will
have about 1 hour and ½ to design and build their cardboard boat.
Remember, innovation and out-of-the-box thinking are key!
3. Testing and Adjustments: Once the construction phase is complete,
we will hit the water and test our boats for buoyancy and
functionality. Please remember to bring your swimsuit.
4. Grand Race: Get ready for an exhilarating race as teams compete to
navigate their boats through a marked course. The team with the
fastest and most reliable boat will claim the ultimate victory!
5. Awards and Celebrations: We will wrap up the event with an awards
ceremony, recognizing outstanding design, teamwork, and
sportsmanship. Delicious refreshments and a celebration cake will be
available for everyone to enjoy.
We hope you’re as excited as we are about this upcoming team-building
