Cinema off school 2025 / LET´S PLAY: GAMING IN EDUCATION

Today’s children and adolescents are digital natives. From an early age, they use internet-connected technologies to watch videos, TV series, and films, play games, and listen to music. They communicate with friends, create their own content, and study in digital environments. The boundary between being offline and online becomes increasingly blurred each year. The 10th anniversary edition of the conference will open up the dynamic topic of digital games in education. Can digital games enrich the didactics of film and audiovisual education? How can F/AV sector expertise help game studios create educational games that are organically usable in teaching? How is the merging of the film and gaming industries into a broader audiovisual sector progressing? Can the closer connection between these areas offer creative new ways to integrate digital technologies into Czech schools? The aim of the conference is to foster dialogue among game developers, practicing teachers, and experts in film and audiovisual education. The program will feature case studies of selected educational games or projects that naturally possess educational potential. We will focus on the use of digital games in teaching history, urban studies, literature, and computer science.

Are you a teacher? A game developer? An enthusiastic gamer or viewer? This conference is for everyone who wants to see audiovisual media become a natural and respected part of the education system.
