Research and School can plan together tools and strategies of risk communication and learning, bringing citizens closer to new scientific discoveries for a Geoscience "with" and "for" Society. The projects described in this paper are part of a long-term outreach program supported by Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia to promote public awareness and education for disaster risk reduction throughout activities among institutional bodies and local authorities, aimed at opening a social dialogue. The increasing attention to the experimental aspect of new communication strategies conveys to innovative educational methods, aimed at involving the entire community, and above all the school, with continuative activities to spread the culture of risk for the prevention of natural disasters. All collaborations are a valuable exchange of ideas between those working in emergencies, knowing the importance of making prevention and encouraging risk mitigation by engaging students in training projects and research activities on geophysical issues. Here are explained some activities, realized in the aim at finding creative solutions for a more resilient community.
