ADA, A SPECIAL TURTLE
Ada is an old and lonely turtle who is a bit of a “scaredy-cat.” One day she is tasked with a dangerous mission, which she immediately refuses because she doesn’t feel adequate: she doesn’t believe she has the skills and talents to successfully overcome it. No one has ever pointed them out to her, which is why she has come to believe she is worthless and – as a consequence – she has withdrawn into a solitary life. With the help of Clara the firefly, Wisefoot, and all the other characters that she meets along the way, Ada will discover her own talents and finally understand what it means to be proud of herself

We are memory
Didactics of memory: programmes about Judaism and Shoah in secondary school
The book offers a five-step journey dedicated to memory, complete with theoretical and practical tools (through indepth studies, research, and a series of workshops) for discussing memory and the Holocaust in secondary school. The activities in each step are designed to be independent, but they can also be part of a broader framework, creating two distinct and complementary paths: chronological and thematic. Each teacher can choose to follow the pathways suggested in the book or create a personalized path, adapting it to their teaching style and the specific needs of their students.
Each step includes general objectives , while each activity has specific goals. This approach allows students to engage in meaningful and formative experiences, making their “act of remembering” tangible, meaningful, and engaging.

Global migrations
History courses for lower secondary school
Telling the story of humanity also means telling the story of the migrations that have accompanied and continue to accompany human evolution: migrations of the first Sapiens from Africa to the rest of the planet, migrations from Europe to the Americas, migrations from East to West and vice versa.
Born from the experience of the Italian NGO CISP (International Committee for the Development of Peoples) and the European project Get up and goals!, the volume integrates 12 programmes within traditional school programmes that combine history and citizenship education and adopt a non-traditional view of the history of humanity. Breaking the fixed and Eurocentric patterns that traditional historiography is full of, the volume provides ideas and reflections to stimulate a non-stereotypical vision of history in the classroom

Teaching History with Comics and Manga
History Workshops for Lower Secondary School
From the shelves of bookstores, comics and manga arrive at school desks: the volume exploits the potential of comics to stimulate interest in history in middle school students. The most famous comics and manga (including, for example, Asterix and the Britons) become a tool to approach historical themes in an original and divergent way.
The activities and exercises proposed in the volume are accompanied by historical insights and complete indications to guide the exercises in class, in particular thanks to the worksheets enriched by comic strips and the numerous materials in digital format downloadable from the Online Resources.

Science Workshops with the IBSE Approach
Activities for the First Two Years of Upper Secondary School
This volume is designed for teachers who wish to transform their teaching and make science learning a lively and engaging experience. Based on the IBSE approach (Inquiry-Based Science Education), the book guides educators in creating an investigative teaching method where students take the lead in their learning, fostering curiosity and critical thinking.
Following the five stages of the IBSE approach (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate), the book offers a deductive method that promotes a deep understanding of scientific and mathematical concepts. Six laboratory pathways assist teachers in practical application, addressing key topics such as the scientific method, evolution, climate change, genetics, atoms, and mixtures. Each pathway includes pre-designed worksheets with detailed explanations for the teacher and hands-on materials for the class, making it easier to implement the approach in everyday teaching.

For this reason, the same situation can be viewed from different perspectives, and there isn’t necessarily a right or wrong one. This game is designed to encourage middle and high school students to reflect, express their own point of view, and observe and embrace those of others Using a deck of 50 flashcards depicting events or situations that have occurred online — closely tied to young people’s everyday lives — teachers are equipped with tools to guide classroom discussions appropriately. To do this, teachers will be provided with a series of argumentation techniques suited to the situations, as well as thought-provoking questions to encourage reflection.

Verbal fluency
Activities for the treatment of stuttering in school-age children
This book takes an innovative and comprehensive approach to fluency disorders, moving beyond the idea of stuttering as merely a speech difficulty . It introduces a groundbreaking therapeutic method structured into five areas of intervention, aimed at helping children improve their verbal fluency. One of the book's key strengths is the active involvement of the family: with practical tools, parents can more easily monitor progress and maintain effective communication with therapists. By combining theory and practice with concrete exercises, visual materials, and supportive strategies, this book is a valuable resource for speech therapists, educators, and parents alike.
Stuttering in adolescence
Comics for effective interventions
In order to offer a key to enter the world of girls and boys who stutter, Stuttering in adolescence is divided into two volumes:
• a guide for adults: containing theoretical, methodological and strategic information, and explaining the MIDA approach: an approach that considers the multidimensionality of the disorder, that integrates individual speech therapy with group therapy, using mediated arts activities.
• a colour comic: telling the story of Zack, a boy full of enthusiasm and dreams, similar in all respects to many of his peers, except for one characteristic: he stutters. For the adolescent who stutters, fitting into their peers' context can be complex and the comparison with others can cause discomfort and suffering. Therefore, just like Zack in the comic, a child who stutters may choose a child younger than him/her as a friend, to feel more comfortable. This is what a teenager who stutters often experiences.
Unexpressed potential flourishes in a person who stutters and in those who support them along their journey.

Do disabled people have sex?
100 simple answers to 1000 difficult questions
Just when you think you’ve got all the answers, a question comes along that stops you in your tracks. Do Disabled People Have Sex? isn’t just a provocative title — it’s an eye-opening journey through 100 challenging questions and 100 refreshingly honest answers. With wit and warmth, Iacopo Melio (the author) dives headfirst into the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding disability, tearing down walls of prejudice and showing us how to build bridges of understanding instead. Written with a blend of sharp humour and heartfelt insight, this book delivers a powerful message: we are all human, with strengths and struggles, dreams and doubts. No fence is too high, no barrier too strong, when we choose to listen, learn, and embrace the diversity around us.

Breastfeeding
Meanings, care methods, and the role of professionals
An essential guide for those working in the perinatal field, offering concrete and updated support to mothers during the first 1,000 days of their child’s life. Based on the latest scientific evidence, this book highlights how appropriate neonatal nutrition is not only a key element for physical health but also for the psychological well-being of both mother and child.
The book goes beyond a purely technical approach, promoting an empathetic and constructive relationship between the breastfeeding mother, the newborn, and the partner. It equips healthcare professionals with the tools needed to create a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. Thus, it not only teaches the techniques and methods of breastfeeding but also addresses, in simple language, sensitive and often overlooked topics: supporting mothers who choose not to breastfeed, managing breast refusal by the newborn, the father’s role, sexuality, and the consequences of violence during pregnancy

Ageism
The invisible prejudice that discriminates against older adults
A silent yet devastating form of discrimination that affects older adults, limiting their rights and diminishing their role in society: this is ageism. In this insightful essay, Marco Trabucchi delves deep into the phenomenon, revealing how prejudice and stereotypes fuel social exclusion. Through critical analysis and concrete proposals, he offers ways to challenge this mindset and build a more inclusive society, where ageing is experienced with dignity and respect.

In search of Respect in care practices
How can care workers be guided by their own work experiences – both stressful and rich in delicate sensitivity – to spread a human and respectful approach in their Services and relationships?
The society we live in – referred to as a “developed” society – is increasingly oriented towards efficiency, goal achievement, and performance even in personal services. It is within this context that Fabio Folgheraiter offers a profound reflection on the “search for Respect” in care practices: what is the true meaning of respect and reciprocity in the face of existential suffering?
In these pages, rich with quotes and references to daily work, Fabio Folgheraiter examines two existing paradigms – the liberal one that celebrates youth when old, and the welfare one that practices respect as a professional duty – pointing to a third way: the relational approach to express integral respect
