Digi-FdB, the digital fort

The project, carried out in the Forte Colle delle Benne di Levico, is a small project born initially from the voluntary action of a group of young locals who asked the Municipality to be able to reopen the manor, to start a digitalization process structured in three new tour itineraries designed for different target groups: families with children, school groups and categories of disadvantaged subjects, such as children with dyslexia. Thanks to the use of a series of games and interactive guides, the visitor is offered an active experience that virtually engages him in the management of the Fort.

Central and innovative element of the project, in addition to the creation of an application to support the visit and installation of QR-Code, is the creation of an inclusive video game, "Skies of Manawak", designed for cognitive training to support the treatment of children (7-13 years) with Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) and inserted in tablets made available to visitors

The practice is enjoying considerable success and significantly increasing visits to the manor.

The involvement of local young people and the networking action made it possible to strengthen the stock of skills and know-how available to small local beneficiaries. In fact, the youth association benefiting from the project was able to count both on the skills of the researchers of the University of Trento, for the development of a game calibrated on the cognitive needs of users with SLD, and on the technical skills of the LAG, for administrative management of the project. The latter is a particularly burdensome aspect for the beneficiaries of rural development policy interventions who, in the face of the economic contribution, must comply with a complex legislation and procedure.
