This week marks the launch of the new edition of the video game literacy program in schools, promoted by the IVIPRO Association in partnership with the Department of Education Sciences “Giovanni Maria Bertin” at the University of Bologna. The initiative involves four upper secondary schools across Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, and Tuscany.
With Press Start to Learn 2.0, video games become both a subject of analysis and study, and a valuable educational resource. For the 2024/2025 school year, the project includes a two-track program: one aimed at upper secondary school students, and another designed for teaching staff.
For more information about the program’s content and the educators involved, visit the official page (in Italian).
