SAFE Project

SAFE
PROJECT

SAFE (Superbug Awareness for Education), is an international project ongoing since January 2020, in the field of antimicrobial resistance. SAFE offers Service-Learning workshops, where we train university students to teach high school students on the topic (training the trainer), encouraging the vocation for STEM careers, through workshops and internships, which will also serve to raise awareness and knowledge of the serious problem of antimicrobial resistance and the importance of the search for antibiotic-producing microorganisms.

Among other actions, the training of university students is carried out to transfer knowledge to high school students, so they can implement research projects on bacterial resistance, and gain scientific communication skills. The participants involved are: University students, undergraduate students (high school ), High school and university teachers, researchers.

Antibiotic Awareness Campaign 2021

Besides being involved in regional and international Science Festivals (such as Science Fair of Barcelona, European Research Night) and the World Antibiotic Awareness Week for the diﬀusion of the Antimicrobial Resistance issue, we are aiming to reach the citizens through non formal workshops and gamification activities (such as Micro-Combat), as well as to co-create a campaign to increase the impact of our resources on society.

Do you want to participate?

If you are willing to solve some of your curiosities on the topic of Antimicrobial Resistance, antibiotic treatments, know about individual actions that we can all carry out to prevent the imminent “silent pandemic”, or get in contact with our researchers, please reach us by filling this short form.

So we can inform you on the next events that we are planning in the city of Barcelona, so we can prevent, together, the antimicrobial resistance issue!

LEARN AND TEACH! The problem of antimicrobial resistance and the search for of antibiotic-producing bacteria in classrooms

Available in Catalan, English, Portuguese and Spanish.

This educational online course is aimed at primary and high school teachers, and introduces the antimicrobial resistance issue through several resouces and methods designed by SAFE to be replicated autonomously by any school, and increase the awareness and foster the interest among youngsters towards STEM, microbiology research, scientific communication and outreach, converting the youth into agents-for-change of our society.

You will find this resource, among all others created by the SAFE team, here. If you are interested on receiving more information or subscribing to our next edition, please contact us at: marina.tarrus@isglobal.org.

Do you want to know about our upcoming events? Contact us and we will send you an invitation!

SAFE is a project based on the Learning-Service method for preuniversity and university students. Besides, we participate in several Science fairs across Barcelona, Naples, Coimbra and Oporto.
