In July, we reported about an impact evaluation of the Napo for Teachers initiative by EU-OSHA, conducted by the Institute for Employment Studies (IES), UK.
Napo for Teachers is a series of education toolkits for teachers, aimed at introducing health and safety topics to primary school children in an educational, yet fun and imaginative way using the Napo clips and creative activities. Now the evaluation entered the second stage: a teacher survey. The survey is available in 11 languages.
To take take part in the survey, please click here: Teacher survey about Napo for teachers. The survey will open in a new browser window. Please send an email to any teacher contacts you know with a link to the survey in addition. Thank you for your help!
