Unity and VR training, creative workshops

I have been teaching since 2000 and have worked with more than 40 institutions: vocational colleges (ITS), high schools, companies, training bodies and public libraries, many of them in Padua. I design tailored courses and teach them on site or remotely.

Technical courses

  • Unity and 3D programming: ITS Volta, Trieste (2018).
  • Game design and 3D programming: Scuola Internazionale di Comics, Padua (2016–2019).
  • 3D modelling in virtual reality: ITS Istituto Besta, Treviso (2023).
  • Educational virtual reality applications: Liceo Morin (Venice), Liceo Berto (Mogliano Veneto), Istituto Cestari-Righi (Chioggia) (2024).
  • Digital innovation: Biblioteca VEZ (Venice), Eurointerim Servizi (Padua), FabLab Venezia, Eduforma (2025–2026).
  • Software analysis and programming (Java, PHP, Android, JSON, XML) in corporate training since 2013: Forema, Corvallis, ReteItalia Internazionale, Umana for SoftX, Niuko.

Creative workshops

I designed original programmes in which young people create with technology, and sometimes without it:

  • How to mould a video game: an online game built with plasticine, brushes and stop motion.
  • Let's play music: instruments made from recycled materials, and the basics of improvisation.
  • Animillo in augmented reality: a residential workshop week to make a digital character "real".
  • Reverse gear: in our era everything moves from material to digital. In this one-week workshop we go the other way, learning from digital techniques to draw, sculpt and play music without a device.

  • Mistakes are a resource: intelligence means learning from mistakes. In this workshop we make mistakes on purpose, to learn how to recover.

In care and prison settings

From 2002 to 2015 I led ensemble music, acting and video-making workshops at the Rodari psychotherapy day centre, at the Santa Maria Maggiore (Venice) and Due Palazzi (Padua) prisons, at the Centro Giovani in Conegliano and with local associations. I also ran a forum theatre on bullying with Theatre of the Oppressed.

Have a project in mind?

I work as a freelancer with companies, research institutes, museums and schools, in Italy and remotely across Europe. Drop me a line or give me a call.
