  • Napo for teachers (safety and health education toolkits for teachers);
  • infographics;
  • technical documentation;

According to the specific characteristics of each educational centre or class, it is possible to include specific contents to the presentation, once agreed together with the teacher´s team in each school.

The presentations are available in English and Spanish. That is, once agreed with the teacher´s team of each centre, it is possible to perform the presentation in one of these two languages.
