When we play a video game are we really “just” playing? Absolutely no.
Critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, resource and time management are some of the skills we use, sometimes unconsciously.
What if these soft skills could find a place, for example, in a CV and help you find work?
Gaming is a thriving, ever-growing industry!
To increase awareness of the gaming world even among “laymen”, Good Game Italia is born, the second project of Digital Civilization, which aims to make different forces and realities interact with each other: investors, developers, experts, academics, companies and HR managers.
Mentors of the project come from realities including Politecnico di Torino, Sisal, Università Cattolica di Milano, Yoox, Awe Sport, Intesa San Paolo, Università di Palermo, Lamborghini, Università di Torino, Synesthesia, Gruppo Teoresi, Studio Legale Lexchance.
Good Game Italia is supported by Relatech S.p.A, digital partner and main sponsor of the event, Teoresi Group, Fondazione Leonardo – Civiltà delle macchine, Play Your Future, Fondazione Collegio Universitario Einaudi e Repubblica Digitale.
The first appointment is scheduled for 8 October with the Good Game Italia thinkathon: a great meeting in which various working tables in the various Italian cities will connect with each other online.
1000 people connected, 8 hours of brainstorming, 4 thematic sessions on game theory, translation of skills, planning and design, storytelling to initiate a dialogue and dialogue between the minds that every day make video games or work in gaming and “others”.
In preparation for the event, the Good Game Italia team made up of educators, creatives and professionals from the videogame sector produces social content, blogs, webinars and a podcast. Every Friday a new episode of the podcast dedicated to video games and their world is available on https://www.spreaker.com/show/civilta-digitale.
