A Superhero Team for a Meaningful Mission !

Less than a week ago, LEONORA was officially launched during the CNPD - Commission nationale pour la protection des données press conference in Luxembourg.

We are proud that LMDDC had the opportunity to support the CNPD in the development of this meaningful educational initiative.

Through a learning platform, comic-based content, a classroom game built around peer learning, and a card game designed to encourage discussion with adults, LEONORA helps young people to better understand privacy, data protection, digital responsibility, and the realities of today’s online world.
But behind every powerful tool, there is also a powerful team.

This post is a small tribute to the LMDDC team members who contributed their talent, time, and commitment to the project:
⭐️ Pierre de La Celle, keeping the platform and the mission on track.
⭐️ Florence Ventolini, bringing young people together through dialogue, energy, and meaningful workshops.
⭐️ Kerstin Bongard-Blanchy, shaping the learning experience through instructional design.
⭐️ Nathan Lenas, building the LMS platform that supports the educational journey.
⭐️ Jessica Meldon, giving the project its visual clarity through her graphic design talent.
⭐️ Juri Alexander Pelzer, creating immersive video game environments.
⭐️ Györgyi Szakmár, designing the card game experience and turning learning into play.
⭐️ Julien Altmeyer, keeping the technical foundations reliable behind the scenes.
⭐️ Jimmy Fischer, developing the game experience with commitment and purpose.

We also warmly thank the CNPD for their trust, along with all partners, schools, teachers, students, and contributors who helped make LEONORA possible.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this collective achievement. 🚀

🚀 As Nexus 2050 comes to a close, we'd like to thank everyone who visited our booth over the past two days.

A highlight of this afternoon was welcoming Stéphanie Obertin, Minister for Research and Higher Education and Minister for Digitalisation, to our booth once again. We greatly appreciate her continued interest in our projects and unwavering support for LMDDC.

It was a pleasure to showcase initiatives, exchange ideas, and connect with so many members of the AI & Tech!

🚀 Nexus 2050 has officially started!

It was a great first day filled with inspiring discussions, project demonstrations, and new connections.

Our team is on-site and looking forward to welcoming more visitors tomorrow. Come meet us and discover our projects.
