Submitted Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 16:35Description:
Food Force serves as a classroom tool for teaching about hunger. From the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), the world’s largest humanitarian agency, Food Force is a free educational video game telling the story of a hunger crisis on the fictitious island of Sheylan.
Comprised of 6 mini-games or “missions”, the game takes young players from an initial crisis assessment through to delivery and distribution of food aid, with each sequential mission addressing a particular aspect of this challenging process.
This site also provides teachers with resources to make their lesson plans.

Video Active is a project funded within the eContentplus programme of the European Commission. Its main goal is "to create access to television archives across Europe. The unlocking of these (largely) closed archives will make their content available for educational and academic purposes. It will enable an interactive discovery of television's cultural heritage.
The project will achieve this by selecting 10,000 items television archive content, which reflects the cultural and historical similarities and differences of television from across the European Union, and by complementing this archive content with well-defined contextual metadata."
The consortium also maintains a blog: http://videoactive.wordpress.com
