MUDEM - Museo della Moneta, in collaboration with Banca d'Italia's Genoa branch, will take part for the first time in the Science Festival, one of the world’s leading events for spreading scientific culture.
The Festival brings together scientists, researchers, science communicators, artists and authors from all over the world every year in Genoa, between October and November. Our Museum is involved in this year’s edition, which explores the topic of 'Perspectives'.
Banca d'Italia's Genoa branch - which has long collaborated with the Festival - is hosting a double event this year, dedicated to MUDEMverse - Tycoon and time travel!, to look at the world of money and finance from the different perspectives of play, experimentation and dialogue with schools.
There will be a morning workshop for children aged 11 to 15 from 22 to 30 October, from Monday to Friday, called 'Let's discover money with MUDEMverse An interactive adventure between the past and the future'. It is a 45-60 minute activity, designed to take classes on a virtual journey to find out about the world of money. Students are invited to tackle the challenges posed by the Museum's video game and discuss the basic concepts of financial education, such as the value of money, the function of banks, the risk-return relationship underlying each investment, the mechanism of inflation, the importance of cyber awareness, and much more.
The second appointment is for teachers and educators, and will be in person and online. Visit the 'MUDEMverse: playing at finance. New languages for financial education' webpage to learn more.
To take part* in the workshop, follow the instructions on the Festival website.
We look forward to seeing you in Genoa!
*Each student must have a smartphone or tablet to be able to take part in the workshop activities. The educational activity room has wifi.
