E-VITA, life simulations in an intergenerational setting

An innovative and unique approach is presented via the development of Serious Games to promote knowledge sharing and intergenerational learning starting from Storytelling techniques. Concept and method have been developed within the E-VITA project, which aims at developing and experimenting some Serious Games to allow younger generations to directly “live” some experiences that older people have lived before the European Union was established. Thus the complexity of the past can be directly experienced and understood through a game that shows how life was at that time. The fst results of this project are here presented.
