Daily Life
during Covid

How has family life changed during the pandemic? What changes can we expect in the next year? 

Identify the problems that the pandemic has generated and reflect on the impact it will continue to have on family life, the routines of parents, spaces in the home, school, and the balance between work and leisure. 

Imagine products or services that can solve the new problems that families, parents and children have been forced to face, whether large or small.

Educazione
& technology

The technological changes of the last 20 years have heavily influenced our lives and are also influencing the lives of children. 

Today’s children are the first truly digital generation, able to imitate us and learn how to use a smartphone from an early age.
But how can technology become a valuable ally for both children and parents? How can we leverage it to enrich and stimulate learning or facilitate education? Imagine products or services that can support children and parents in this daily challenge.
