A championship for projects and ideas designed with young people and for young people of 370 second grade Roman schools, between public and equal: it is #the game of the future, which will take place on April 2 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, with the effective collaboration of the regional school office of the Ministry of Education and merit and the coordination of UCID Rome through the qualified Ethical Commission. The event is present in the Jubilee 2025 calendar and is visible internationally.
#The game of the future was born from the shared desire of a group of entrepreneurs and professionals, enriched by the participation of young university students, to spread an event with a social impact for the city, designed as “Rome Benecomune”. This is the guiding idea of the project to be returned to the city and thought as a virtuous coexistence and in relation to the needs of the territories close to each school. It is an innovative format, already successfully experimented in other cities – Turin (Allianz Stadium), Naples (San Paolo Stadium), Taranto (Erasmo Iacovone stadium) – conceived by Professor Cinzia Rossi, contact person of the Ethical Commission of UCID Roma and President of Ospti. The 14 selected projects that will compete for “narrative voices” and dribbling “video” projected on the giant stadium of the Olympic stadium (kindly made available by Sport & Health), deal, by different perspectives, the theme of how to operate for the future of the city, for the recovery and development of the common goods of Rome. The evaluation was carried out on the basis of criteria such as social and environmental impact, intergenerationality and interculturality.
All Roman students who intervened will vote through a system of digital democratic participation (telephone app) the winning project, thus strengthening their sense of responsibility and involvement in the final goal of the initiative: to help educate, involve, listen and give space to the young citizens of Rome. The winning project will be accompanied to the realization, but all the proposals hope that they constitute a starting point for reflection for those who, today and in the future, will play in the management of the city. During the morning there will be interludes lived up by young artists who will bring their singing and theatrical projects, sports calls to the “Olympionic Azzurri”, to the characters of Walt Disney and parades of vintage machines. The entry to the Olympic stadium will be free, but participation presupposes that students present themselves with a planning.
