What brought Awareness Toys at Games for Health Europe and on ADI Design Index 2019<\/strong> I think it was especially the idea of being able to create toys for adults.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project, born from the cooperation with Dario Gianoli<\/strong>, counselor educated in generative<\/strong> psychopedagogy<\/strong>, started in 2015 with the goal of bringing objects that could act as facilitators<\/strong> at diverse levels into educational practices. The concepts of instability, void and loss <\/strong>have been represented through simple shapes in order to be able to “dress” with player’s thoughts, memories and emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awareness Toys have been presented last 8 October at Games For Health Europe 2019<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, a conference focussed on serious games <\/strong>we already spoke about in this post<\/strong><\/a>, this year at its ninth edition. In a context where digital and virtual reality have been main characters, these totally analog toys have tried to give a different perspective on the role of sensory activation in the play<\/strong> as well as on the role of the educator\/guide<\/strong> in such critical and deep educational paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
