In Italy our local hero is Explora, the Children’s Museum of Rome

Explora is a science museum in the heart of Rome where families and people of all ages can learn together through over 250 exhibit activities in science, technology and art.

Explora is naturally the Italian local partner which orgainzes Unplugged gameplay within two elementary schools - Baccarini and Bonghi, which form part of one educational institution. Between October and November 2022, Explora will support the process of carrying out Unplugged games in 6 classes, introducing and animating the testing of the Clay and Sculpture, Cookies and Peace, Plastic Continent, Brain Twister, Equal games.

In a sequence of meetings, the concept of the Unplugged Quest and the pedagogical approaches of the games will be discussed with teachers and then performed in class.

La Fabulerie turns the wheel with schools in the region of Marseille

La Fabulerie is working with schools, libraries, museums and corporations to unlock their creativity and enhance their digital skills. This knowledge is shared through creative workshops, training sessions, and digital resources.

La Fabulerie has built a large network of teachers with its Fabulous Museum, an interactive and pedagogical experiment for kids from six to twelve years old, bringing together experiments and skills: digital content, open data, theatrical mediation and immersion. The Unplugged project will make the bridge between a single museum visit and the continuous exchange with visitors. To strengthen this link, La Fabulerie will co-organize and carry out Unplugged gameplay activities with schools from the Fabulous Museum’s network in the area of Marseille, France.
