Gamers-VR Lab was established as a community in 2017, stemming from an idea by Federica Pallavicini as part of her work as a Research Fellow at the Department of Human Sciences for Education "Riccardo Massa" at the University of Milano-Bicocca. Since June 2022, Gamers VR Lab has been a Research Laboratory within the same Department.

Its goal is to study the applications of commercial video games and virtual reality in the fields of mental health, education, and training. The Research Laboratory also aims to explore the use of commercial video games and virtual reality for the promotion of inclusivity and cultural heritage.

Scientific Director: Federica Pallavicini
Affiliated Members: Alessandro Pepe, Fabrizia Mantovani

The laboratory aims to develop research, teaching, clinical, and psychosocial intervention activities from a critical perspective on human rights, social justice, and the structural dimensions of domination and inequality, and their impact on mental health and overall well-being, both nationally and internationally.

Director: Guido Veronese

He.Co.Psy seeks to foster research, teaching, clinical, and psychosocial intervention activities through a critical lens on human rights, social justice, structural domination and inequality, and their effects on mental health and well-being, both in Italy and internationally. Specifically, our lab promotes academic and clinical initiatives of scientific, cultural, and advocacy value in the fields of clinical psychology, health, and diversity. Discriminated minority and indigenous groups—such as migrants, war-displaced persons and refugees, ethnic and religious minorities, LGBTIQ+ groups, marginalized communities in metropolitan suburbs, subaltern and overexploited individuals in the sectors of production and social reproduction, women and children who are victims of violence, exploitation, and trafficking—are among the main (though not exclusive) subjects of our scientific research and clinical and psychosocial interventions.

Spanning various fields of study and research—from ethnopsychology and critical ethnopsychiatry, to socio-constructivist models, to theoretical and clinical approaches to political violence and victims of torture—the laboratory aims to create opportunities and projects for exchange, dialogue, debate, training, and fieldwork. Key areas of focus include global migration processes and their psychological care implications, care politics in Europe, international contexts of conflict and political violence, care practices in such settings, psychological care approaches through the lenses of gender and queer studies, and the state of psychological and general health interventions in contexts marked by social and economic inequalities and systemic violations of personal rights. A particular emphasis is placed on a critical approach to the concept of vulnerability.

Lab_Babel is a permanent training and research laboratory that radically addresses the issue of meaning-making at the intersection of the human sciences (pedagogical, philosophical, anthropological, psychological, social, health, and legal disciplines) and new forms of emerging languages (digital languages, visual studies, contemporary art languages, performative languages), adopting a perspective of re-semanticization of vocabularies in active dialogue with socio-semiotics.

In this sense, the Laboratory aims to be a space for the development and analysis of phenomena related to the transformations of communicative codes and their educational effects on contemporary adolescents.

Among its first research areas, the laboratory aims to study the documentation that constitutes dossiers and case files (such as educational, social welfare, clinical and healthcare reports), to analyze and understand how they operate within the juvenile justice system. This analysis of documentation is conceived as a clinical-archaeological approach to relationships, seeking to understand how these documents engage with and reflect the languages and experiences of today’s younger generations—generations increasingly drawn to visual languages and identification models that depart from the traditional references of the human sciences.

Planned activities

• Conducting research in collaboration with other Academic Institutions, Judicial Institutions (Juvenile Court), Healthcare Institutions (ASST), Local Authorities, Cultural Associations and Territorial Research Groups.
• Organizing seminars, conferences, and workshops with intellectuals and experts in the field of Human Sciences, open to students, PhD students, and/or professionals.
• Publishing articles, collective volumes, and monographs on research themes across the laboratory’s disciplinary areas.

The Visual Anthropology Laboratory serves as a space for reflection and experimentation in the field of audio-visual research practices. In addition to supporting educational activities, the laboratory offers assistance to professors, researchers, and PhD students who use audio-visual tools in their research work.

It is equipped with two editing stations on Windows and Mac systems with video editing software, namely Adobe Premiere and Final Cut.

In collaboration with Dr. Sara Elisa Bramani, who has been responsible for teaching the visual anthropology laboratory for students in the Master's program in Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences since 2008, the laboratory has contributed to numerous research projects in the social and cultural field:

• 2008/2009: Ethnographic research (two phases) on the artistic and cultural production of immigrant citizens in the Milan area, funded by the Province of Milan, Cultural Policies sector, and in collaboration with the COME center, Farsi Prossimo Cooperative. The project produced two documentaries: Migrazioni d'arte I and II under the supervision of Professor Vincenzo Matera.
• 2010/2013: Project "Culturalmente: artistic itineraries towards interculturality," funded by the Cariplo Foundation, in collaboration with the University of Milano-Bicocca (Department of Human Sciences for Education “Riccardo Massa”) and the Farsi Prossimo Onlus cooperative. This produced three documentaries: Immaginari Latini, L'Orchestra in via Padova, and Da dove vieni?, with the supervision of Professor Vincenzo Matera. The documentaries were followed by the publication “La costruzione filmica come processo di significazione culturale”, in Mediascapes: Pratiche dell’immagine e antropologia culturale, edited by I. Bargna, Meltemi, Milan, 2018.
• 2013/2015: Ethnographic research related to the Expo, supervised by Professor Ivan Bargna, University of Milano-Bicocca, Department of Human Sciences for Education, in collaboration with the Gian Giacomo Feltrinelli Foundation.
• 2016/2018: Ethnographic research on public spaces, in collaboration with the University of Milano-Bicocca, Department of Human Sciences for Education, and the "Non Riservato" association network. This led to the creation of a mobile observation tool for participation, Anthropo-point, which consisted of a team of anthropologists, a stool, and a camera. The research was supervised by Professor Vincenzo Matera. The production of micro-ethnographies in film was followed by the publication: Sara Bramani, Valentina Mutti, “Un anthropo-point nello spazio pubblico: arte, confini e uso della città di Milano”, in Scolpire la notte, edited by the Borderlight Collective, Postmedia Books, Milan, 2019.
• 2019: Ethnographic research within the "Alleanze dei corpi" project, in collaboration with the AiEp Association, Fabbrica del Vapore.

A democracy is more than a form of government; it is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. (Dewey, 1916)

What is the "School and Democratic Citizenship Laboratory"?

It is an interdisciplinary research and training center born from the collaboration of colleagues from the Department of Human Sciences for Education “Riccardo Massa” at the University of Milano-Bicocca (and in the near future also from other departments), with the aim of promoting cultural, research, training, and networking initiatives on education.
What is school for us?
 … it is a fundamental lever for the democratic, equitable, sustainable, and peaceful development of society;
 … it is a place of protection, welcome, well-being, and the education of all children and adolescents, each with their own story, from different socio-cultural and family backgrounds, with their own individual differences;
 … it is a place where one’s talents, characteristics, and need for recognition are fully valued, supporting growth as subjects of rights and responsible social actors;
 … it is a space for belonging, participation, and shared responsibility, a true gym for life and democracy, where one acquires not only cultural knowledge but also develops their identity and practices competencies in active, democratic, global, and intercultural citizenship;
 … it is a place for the development of communities and territorial networks in openness and collaboration between school and extra-school services and institutions.

What objectives does the Laboratory aim to achieve?

The laboratory aims to critically and constructively contribute to the debate on education and to build a network of collaboration with and for schools, with research entities, school networks, cultural and administrative institutions, and third-sector realities. Its goal is to respond to the school’s need for change in the face of growing social complexity, characterized by increasing inequalities, new forms of poverty, tensions related to linguistic-cultural and religious pluralities, globalization, school disengagement, and youth distress. It does this through participatory processes and the valorization of resources from all social actors, with a particular focus on children and adolescents.

What activities does the Laboratory carry out?

The laboratory engages in research, training, cultural information, and participatory project design, with a particular focus on schools, methodological and didactic research to develop and promote collaborative research with transformative impact and mixed-method (qualitative and quantitative) research, oriented toward democratic values.

In particular, it carries out research and training on:

• Participatory research models and participatory evaluation research aimed at developing people and contexts through observation, self-assessment, reflection, and participatory project design tools.
• Research methodologies on the perspective of students (student-voice) and teachers (teacher-voice).
• Qualitative and quantitative research on well-being indicators in schools and indicators for the development of democratic school environments.
• Network-working models, educational community agreements between school and territory, and the enhancement of material and immaterial heritage.
• Models and processes of civic education and democratic, intercultural, and global citizenship education, education for legality, critical perspectives (post-colonial studies, gentrification), and processes of skill development within these frameworks.
• Forms and processes of citizen science.
• Research and intervention models for the prevention and combating of school dropout, NEETs, ELETs, ESL, and demotivation, social disadvantage, and educational poverty.
• Research on the integration processes of minors and families with non-Italian citizenship in schools.
• Studies on school autonomy and school organization.

Expressive, performing and participatory arts workshop for education and training.

The research laboratory aims to provide continuity and institutional form to studies and experiences that have been a consolidated heritage of the Department of Human Sciences for Education "Riccardo Massa" since its founding. It promotes the interconnection between the artistic world and the field of educational and training professions through the development of research projects, scientific and outreach events, permanent training courses, advanced courses, and master's degrees.

The laboratory aims to contribute to the understanding of the educational and formative dimension of work and professions, developing a pedagogical comprehension of educational, transformative, and career guidance processes and services related to work experience, the school-university-work transition, basic and continuous training practices for work, and the transformations affecting this area of adult life in contemporary society.

In pursuing these objectives, the laboratory intertwines a variety of perspectives, focusing on three levels:

• Micro: The experiences, learnings, representations, knowledge, stories, and transformations of individuals involved in work-related training (students, workers, trainers, teachers, tutors, etc.).
• Meso: The institutional and organizational processes, practices, contexts, and devices for work-related education and training (e.g., career guidance and re-orientation, professionalization, initial and in-service training, recruitment, recognition, evaluation, and certification of skills, etc.).
• Macro: The realities and transformations of the orientation-training-work system at the social, political, historical, and cultural levels, both local and global; the critical perspective and research as levers for social justice.

Planned Activities:

In addition to research activities (which will also be supported through participation in funding opportunities), the laboratory foresees training activities (design and implementation of degree programs, master’s programs, and advanced training courses in close collaboration with the workforce), dissemination (seminars, publications, national and international conferences), and collaboration with the territory, businesses, business associations, profit and non-profit organizations, and interest networks at regional, national, and international levels.

The laboratory aims to contribute to the analysis of the socio-educational, cultural, and political dimensions that characterize contemporary educational environments, with particular regard to how the life and educational trajectories of young people with migrant backgrounds are shaped, amidst constraints, opportunities, aspirations, and resistance.

Subjects of study include educational processes that simultaneously affect class, gender, generational, intercultural, and territorial dimensions.
The laboratory seeks to be a space where opportunities for reflection, exchange, discussion, and pedagogical research, committed to and guided by the principles of equity and social justice, can be promoted—also in collaboration with local schools and socio-educational entities.
The activities of the laboratory are intended to build upon the work of Dr. Giulia Pozzebon, a pedagogist, educator, and researcher at the University of Milan-Bicocca, who tragically passed away prematurely. Dr. Pozzebon was the author of Daughters of Immigration: Educational Perspectives for Young People with Migrant Backgrounds (2020 - Carocci).
The laboratory actively collaborates with the Giulia Pozzebon Fund, which is hosted at the Lecco Community Foundation.

Planned Activities in the Workshop
The lab fosters and supports research on the multiple and complex issues and challenges impacting the life experiences and development of young people with migration backgrounds (including issues like old and new racisms, stereotypes, inequalities, etc.). It also promotes activities for dissemination and social awareness, such as seminars, publications, and conferences, aimed at students, doctoral candidates, and professionals. The lab actively engages both undergraduate and graduate students in the pedagogical field, as well as Ph.D. candidates, in collaboration with the Doctoral Program in Education in Contemporary Society.
