EURIDICE launched a new podcast series with interviews about Culture, Communication and Education with global citizens in the Digital Society. In this first edition of the series we discuss with professor Marco Biondi, who teaches pharmaceutical technology at the University Federico II of Napoli, how to engage learners in your acedemic classes and how to overcome failure. This is done in a very playful manner, using improvisational theatre and mind mapping, and doing playful games with groups of students or peers. According to Professor Biondi, if you want to overcome failure, “you have to lear how to quack”.
