GenL – Il primo videogioco sul lavoro etico in Italia e in Europa, ideato dai Consulenti del Lavoro per i giovani

GenL
The project

Training a new generation of workers

GenL was created as a board game in 2019 to launch the orientation activity Let's Work for Legality and enable younger people to play an active role. In 2021 the board game was integrated with an online version, later turning into a video game in 2022. The 2023 edition takes on an European character more and more by opening the competition to all EU member countries and launching the GenL –Europe Edition initiative.

Promoters of legality and honesty

Strengthened by their role as primary promoters in the management of employment and the whole labour field, Labour Consultants want to promote values of legality and honesty to permeate professions and businesses, with positive consequences for the society as a whole.
