Abstract

This paper presents a project that aims to devise an innovative interactive application, more precisely a serious game, covering the topic of financial education. The topic is quite relevant nowadays, not only in Europe but worldwide, and is also one of the major issues on most government’s agendas. The aim of this application is by using a storytelling framework devise a collaborative platform, where people from 7 to 77 acquire or enhance their financial skills. To do this, the application tackles several research fields such as interactive digital storytelling, collaboration human-computer interaction, autonomous agents, etc.
