00:00How did you come up with the idea of working on a high-level training course such as the Academy?
00:04There has been the idea for a long time to work on a high-level training course such as the Academy.
00:11There are many training offers in Italy,
00:14but this is a very important case that brings all the risks together and with a civil protection approach.
00:20It was born within the RETURN project, which is an important project on risks,
00:25in which the department also actively participates, being part of the RETURN Foundation.
00:30The Academy is very important because it has selected, at least in its first edition,
00:3640 students who are graduates of a doctorate or a bachelor's degree.
00:46They are very good, they are already trained, but they are young
00:50and they collect information that interests them for the future of their work,
00:55being part of different professional categories.
00:59They will be future architects, geologists, engineers, but also lawyers,
01:05experts in various disciplines of social sciences,
01:08and therefore they will bring their experience into their world of work.
01:12We are very interested in the training of these young professional generations on two fronts.
01:19On the one hand, we are interested in the fact that some of these future civil protection operators have been formed,
01:24because some of these people could perhaps in the future work in civil protection
01:28or in an entity that works with us at the regional, local or even national level.
01:33On the other hand, they could bring into their world of work,
01:37whether they are lawyers or whether they are sociologists,
01:41experiences and knowledge of civil protection that will allow them to bring this type of information
01:47into their daily profession, therefore having an awareness of the risk
01:51that is more difficult to find in these contexts.
01:54So we trust a lot that these two lines of training
01:58can have a great benefit from the Return Academy.
02:01We use a common language for years,
02:05and above all the Return Academy is part of the RETURN project.
02:09RETURN is an extensive partnership that includes both public administration and research,
02:14but also the activities of the private sector in general.
02:17So it is possible that these people in the future will work for private companies,
02:21big or small,
02:23which are still part of the civil protection system,
02:26because the civil protection system is a system that collects research,
02:29volunteers, typical operators such as firefighters, etc.,
02:35but also private companies that can have any type of interaction with the world of civil protection.
02:40So we certainly hope to meet them again.
