Do videogames stimulate intelligence? Are they only interactive entertainment or is there more behind this fun experience?

We will analyse real cases and discuss how games can stimulate learning (of notions such as history, biology, sciences and more) and arouse real emotions (such as empathy or pity) that can have an impact on real life. We will also talk about controversial cases and whether videogames can be “dangerous”. The laboratory combines a space for debates, brief inputs of theory and a practical part, so be ready to play!
