School brings together the vast network of grassroot workers,
professionals, accademics, universities, federations and international
organisations such as World Health Organisation to provide different
opportunities of learning and sharing of information. The initiatives
include two main groups of activities:

in health care and social services in developing countries.
These opportunities are available mainly in English and Italian.

French.
