Abstract

I videogiochi hanno acquisito un nuovo respiro a seguito delle esperienze vissute durante la pandemia, in particolare per quanto riguarda il benessere personale e la connessione sociale. Il contributo presenta i risultati tangibili del progetto YO-MEDIA - Youngsters’ Media Literacy in Times of Crisis, in particolare i giochi da tavolo “Social Media Puppeteers” e “Social Media Fake News” e il videogioco “Data Defenders”, frutto degli sforzi di progettazione e produzione del team di progetto, con particolare riferimento alle meccaniche, alle scelte grafiche, ai personaggi e alle atmosfere delle proposte ludiche costruite. L'obiettivo ultimo dei prodotti è di sostenere le competenze dei ragazzi attraverso il gioco, il coinvolgimento, la partecipazione diretta, incontrando le principali tecniche alla base del pre-bunking e le logiche di smascheramento delle fake news, attraverso la scelta delle azioni dei personaggi. Nel corso dei giochi, i ragazzi sono infatti chiamati a produrre informazioni, scomporle e verificare le fonti.
