Sofia platform code: 87708 
Applications can be submitted from the 23rd of September to the 20th of October.

The training course is aimed at veteran ABE Italy teachers working in the regions where the program is active: Lombardy, Campania, Lazio, Apulia, Basilicata, Umbria, Marche, Abruzzo, Molise, Emilia Romagna, Sicily, and Sardinia.

The course will be enacted in blended mode and will last 15 hours in total, divided between the following phases:

• a first phase (6h) of distance learning, with two-hour long meetings (from 5pm to 7pm) in November 2023 (8th, 9th and 10th) 
   
• a second phase (4h), which will happen in-person, with experimental activities. The experimental phase will happen on a single afternoon (3-4 h) in various Italian locations, according to the dates and times that will be set by the area coordinators.
   
• a third phase (5h) of implementation at school. ABE Italy will provide equipment and reagents free of charge for schools that do not have these already, and, compatibly with the number of requests and available funds, also MiniOne kits (https://theminione.eu/product/ptc-genetics-minilab-tae-buffer-m3003tae/ or https://theminione.eu/product/a-taste-of-genetics-minilab/), for up to two weeks, in order for teachers to perform the laboratory experiments with students at school.

The experimental phase will take place, during the afternoon, in five different regions and will be organised by the local ABE Italy coordinators, together with research institutes or ABE schools.
