Description
Summary:Nuclear power is at the crossroads of science and society, because of the scale of the economic, political, social, environmental and ethical challenges it poses. The issues exceed by far the concerns of the scientific and expert community, which have been reignited by recent debates on the European taxonomy. Nuclear power sparks fervent controversies, oppositions and conflicts within our society. In this context, the inquiry focuses on the ability to involve young citizens in the debate on the future of a territory subsequent to the shutdown of a nuclear power plant. The underlying hypothesis highlights the value of introducing a serious game into a controversial setting, and its ability to build consensus around a new trajectory. Consequently, after presenting the framework of our case study, we will analyze the results in order to understand how students from the local middle school take hold of the future of their territory, which happens to be a controversial nuclearized territory.
