Young People across the UK and Nintendo
On 17 November Livity announced some broad youth consultation amongst Young People across the UK and Nintendo, to co-design practical ideas that will make a real and lasting difference to them; this way Nintendo can start piloting co created solutions for and with young people in their own communities next year.
The shout out for using the power of play and gaming for social good was headed up by Super Mario, (not the politician) a figure who all our research time and again proves is a contemporary, consistently popular, positive role model across nearly all ages and demographics.
Coinciding with both the launch of Livity's first UK wide Live Magazine and the print of our first South Africa based Live Magazine, so the Minister for the Civil Society came along too to help Livity's 21 year old Editor Celeste Houlker who handed out some awards to the 'Contributors of the Month' and he and Mario made a fantastic team!
Any ideas or recommendations for how Mario can get kids involved in social change should be sent to; Mario@Livity.co.uk
