The FFA project for the development of an educational computer game won the programme of the Czech Technology Agency
The Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TA ČR) has announced the results of the first public competition of the Programme for Support of Applied Research and Innovation SIGMA – Support for the Innovation Potential of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts. Out of 379 submitted projects, 64 applications were supported. The first place among the evaluated applications went to the project Educational computer game about the status of Roma in Czech society, which was prepared by academic and scientific researchers of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology. The project, which will be implemented over the next three years, aims at formal and content-based expansion of existing educational materials for the second level of primary education. The project will confront the currently prevalent use of sandbox games or text or point-and-click adventures, with a comprehensive approach to the development of game mechanics using current knowledge in the field of serious games, game rhetoric and ludology in general. Both the content and the formal design expect a continuous involvement of affected actors – Roma, students, educators, and relevant professional organizations – with the goal of ensuring the applicability of the game in the educational process on the one hand and creating a communication space for authentic expression of Roma on the other.Source: www.tacr.cz/program-sigma-vyhlaseni-vysledku-1-verejne-souteze-dilci-cil-3/
