Three projects that will serve the community and its citizens. These are the civil protection department, INPS and Scuola IMT Alti Studi.
THE DECISIVE MOMENT: THE CIVIL PROTECTION DEPARTMENT SERIES IS BACK
The third episode of the series L'attimo decisivo will be showcased at Lucca Comics & Games 2025. Written by Roberto Gagnor and illustrated by Federica Salf, The Decisive moment is a project of the Department of Civil Protection promoted by the Minister for Civil Protection and Sea Policies in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Merit. The graphic novel tells the adventures of four teenagers united by a special "power". The young protagonists, thanks to their skills, manage to counter the mysterious and threatening adversary called "The equation", a dark and impalpable giant, who represents the inexorability of natural risks or those caused by human activity, whose effects cannot be eliminated but, with knowledge and action, can be contrasted and reduced. The project, which involves secondary schools throughout Italy, benefits from the collaboration of professionals in the world of communication and storytelling. The first issue of the series was distributed in 1 million and 800 thousand copies, the second in almost two million copies.
INPS IN LUCCA WITH ITS PROJECTS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND CREATIVE PROFESSIONS
For the third year, INPS will be present at Lucca Comics & Games with seminars and communication activities aimed at creators, those who work in creative professions, artists, and young people. This year, the collaboration between INPS and the festival is part of the broader national INPS project for young people. The Institute wanted to reaffirm its closeness to the new generations by bringing together in a single digital space and on its app, all the services and benefits dedicated to young people between 18 and 35. Among the actions that have been recently implemented, there is Circular 44 that regulates the work of digital creatives and the implementation of two specific types of allowance: one linked to discontinuity of work designed for operators in the entertainment world and one for freelance professionals.
SCUOLA IMT ALTI STUDI DI LUCCA: OUR MAIN SCIENTIFIC PARTNER CELEBRATES ITS 20 YEARS!
The collaboration with the prestigious international university institute located in Lucca, Scuola IMT Alti Studi, will continue even this year. This institute will be in the 2025 edition of Main Scientific Partner as well, to face, from a scientific and academic point of view, some aspects related to folkloristic culture: neurosciences, social sciences and game science. IMT and Lucca Comics & Games are among the co-founders of the Game Science Research Center, that for years have studied the game dynamics applied to the social and scientific field. This year IMT turns 20 and celebrates its anniversary with a special initiative linked to comics, but we will unveil its details not until the next weeks.
