Napo for teachers

Napo for teachers

Using the ever-popular Napo character, EU-OSHA (the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work), together with the Napo Consortium, has devised a series of occupational safety and health (OSH) lessons for teachers, aimed at introducing safety and health topics to primary school students in an educational, yet fun and imaginative way using Napo video clips.

For each lesson, defined around a single Napo film/scene, learning objectives are outlined, and teachers have the option of various activities and are provided with the resources required, as well as some ideas for how to assess the students’ performance. The lessons are designed to be flexible, to fit alongside and reinforce current curriculum subjects, and to assist teachers and students in class.

Lessons

Target ages9-11 years

The following OSH education toolkits are aimed at children between nine and eleven. At nine, children undergo a key development phase when they should be able to start working cooperatively in groups to complete projects, start learning to work independently on multi-step projects and be introduced to basic scientific thinking and facts. Instilling a culture of risk prevention equips them with the basic skills and knowledge to keep them safe in years to come.

Target ages7-9 years

The following OSH education toolkits have been devised with children aged between seven and nine in mind. At this age children start moving towards abstract thinking, develop reasoning skills and shift to learning via language and logic, in addition to observation. Introducing safety and health at this age is key to establishing the foundations for safe and healthy habits.
