The profile to be created through the Master's Degree Course in Services and Strategies for Inclusion (SeStrI) aims at involving the enrolled students in a process of knowledge and constructive learning aimat high qualification in the field of strategies for inclusion. In particular, the Master's Course aims to promote critical and advanced knowledge on theoretical and practical issues related to disability, social inclusion issues, the development of active participation, teaching methodologies and the identification in PA of methodologies useful to intensify inclusive processes. The current national and international panorama, in fact, highlights how migratory flows and the increase in diagnoses carried out by specialised centres are leading to greater awareness and are carefully targeting the construction of inclusive and welcoming school, social and living environments.

The OECD Deseco Project aims to promote three categories:

1. The use of tools in an interactive manner (new technologies, multimedia languages);
2. Interaction in heterogeneous groups;
3. Ability to act independently.

Furthermore, the SeStrI Master's Course has its conceptual roots in historical documents that have marked, and continue to mark, the educational and conceptual turning point in the inclusion process. Thus pivotal documents are the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the 2030 Agenda which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all: to eliminate gender disparities in education by 2030 and to ensure equitable access for all, including persons with disabilities. In this perspective, the collaborative learning methodology is at the basis of the technological didactics interventions and allows those enrolled in the master's course, with different levels of performance, to work in groups to achieve a common goal; there is, therefore, a shift of focus from frontal teaching to a student-centred methodology that promotes positive interdependence, individual responsibility and relational skills.
