"According to Eurostat (2013) Health problems related with working conditions affected 7,9% EU-28 nearly two in every three people in the EU-28 who had experienced work-related health problems during the previous 12 months and had been absent from work as a consequence had been absent for at least four days. The continuous increase of young workers (between 15 and 24 years) in the world economy, raises special concerns in the safety and health. Younger workers are more likely to be victims of accidents not - deadly, more serious, than their older colleagues, because of the general lack of professional experience and understanding of the risks present in the workplace, and also due to lack training in safety and health and lack of physical and emotional maturity. In the European Union, for example, the incidence rate of non - fatal accidents is 50 % higher among young workers than in other age groups. Besides the costs and negative consequences to individuals, this phenomenon hinders economic growth and competitiveness. In many EU territories OSH issues, are already included in the curricula, but in other countries, the curriculum restraints, time limitations and teaching training priorities difficult all the process. The curricula and activities have to be continuously updated. Future of work (ILO research) is identifies new working conditions that have an impact on Workers Health and safety (non-standard forms of employment 2016; Working anytime, anywhere: The effects on the world of work 2017; etc.) Curricula and activities will be designed to be meaningful and ready to changeable working conditions. http://www.ilo.org/global/topics/future-of-work/publications/lang--en/index.htm ''MS-SM2'' aims to establish an interface between teacher education, formal and non-formal contexts in OSH. This Strategic Partnership (SP) includes partners representing different and complementary fields of expertise and previous experience with schools, in their respective countries. Besides ensuring strong involvement of teachers and high impact on the intervention, the partnership will also assure future dissemination of the project outputs and network implementation.This project should be carried out transnationally to build a SP combining OSH and education experts. By supporting teachers' education, MS-SM2, will help them to expand skills, and provide the right tools to deal with OSH issues at school. It intends to involve them in the construction of knowledge and in the sharing of best practices, which will simultaneously improve the quality of the teaching and learning process and potentially increase the knowledge of young people to protect their health and quality of life. Following the main goal of SP, ''MS-SM2'' intends to carry out a joint initiative, to implement in 3 years, that will allow the exchange of knowledge and experience developing educational teacher's guidelines in the scope of OSH. Throughout this period, the project will also support several informal approaches and resources referring to the teaching of OSH subjects. These networked activities will be carried out using an existing Web platform which answers the project's needs. Additionally, the project will increase the dissemination of best practices in the refereed web platform, potentially leading to transfer the project outputs and network implementation to the classroom. These materials for the classroom and teachers training are specially to prepare future workers about the risks in the work of the future:o To promote an increase of the teachers' professional development, by providing a diversified training blended offer (formal and non-formal knowledge achievement), through the construction of IO1; o To promote the storage of OSH educational resources in a platform by creating a repository of best practices designed for the educational/training system in safety and health;o To promote teacher's involvement (especially teachers working in schools with highly diverse, low income communities and high early school leaving rates) in innovating methodologies by using a collaborative platform to make accessible the diversified experiences from partners and by promoting training benchmarks for teachers and trainers;o To contribute to minimize young/future workers work accidents numbers by promoting OSH education and improve the awareness for the hazards at work, by constructing a OSH materials for teachers training and for the classroom, with activities and methodological suggestions on OSH, with inclusive materials, and a Students booklet ( including an audio version to low vision and blind students and a version in braille, in order to allow the replication of the ""MS-SM2"" by other agents and its spreading (digital publication).o The minority groups and people with disabilities need special protection in the working life. They meet most with the risks also. Among the goals of the proj are disseminated occupational health and safety culture for them."
