Gender inequalities continue to pose a significant issue across various aspects of life, adversely impacting the well-being of both females and males. These disparities often stem from the ingrained gender stereotypes passed down to young individuals through parental guidance, educational systems, and media portrayal. For this reason, within the psycho-pedagogical field, various intervention models have been developed in recent years, leveraging digital tools to combat stereotypes and enhance well-being among adolescents. The aim of this systematic review is, therefore, to identify studies employing digital tools, particularly serious games, to promote well-being from a gender perspective. The review was conducted using the PRISMA guidelines and collected articles from four databases: Scopus, the Web of Science, PubMed, and PsycInfo. The screening process culminated in the selection of 15 articles. The findings reveal a proliferation of platforms, applications, and programs aimed at promoting well-being by addressing emotional, cognitive (or mental), physical, and sexual health dimensions. Some contributions emphasize nurturing positive attributes within individuals or fostering empowerment as a precursor to well-being. Additionally, certain articles delve into the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the well-being of young men and women; in particular, the authors investigated the effect of using an app to improve well-being before and after the pandemic. This systematic review aims to expand the knowledge base on technology-based interventions for social change. It endeavors to empower educators and advance the creation of innovative, evidence-based digital tools that can enhance positive mental health, promote gender equality education, and foster the well-being of young people.

In the contemporary landscape of educational and communication research, characterized by an increasingly visual, interconnected, and constantly evolving ecosystem, Visual Education emerges as an epistemological and operational field of transdisciplinary nature, able to integrate knowledge from pedagogy, digital technologies, visual arts, and cognitive sciences, with the aim of critically interpreting the cultural, cognitive, and social dynamics of contemporaneity

In recent years, Visual Education has emerged as an innovative and interdisciplinary teaching approach aimed at promoting meaningful learning through the conscious use of visual tools and languages. This educational paradigm helps to facilitate the understanding of complex concepts, translating them into clear and intuitive visual representations, while enhancing memorisation skills, critical information processing and the practical application of acquired knowledge. This systematic review, conducted according to the PRISMA (2020) protocol, analyses the most recent empirical evidence on the effectiveness of Visual Education in educational contexts. The main objective is to assess how the intentional use of visual tools—images, concept maps, educational videos, interactive digital materials, and virtual manipulatives—contributes to enhancing learning processes and developing transversal skills. Through a comparative analysis of fourteen international contributions published between 2020 and 2025, selected from the Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCO databases, the research highlights how Visual Education significantly influences the improvement of academic performance, motivation and cognitive and emotional engagement of students. The results also confirm the inclusive function of visual teaching, which can encourage participation, self-esteem and cooperation even in individuals with special educational needs. The discussion emphasises the need for the systematic integration of Visual Education into school curricula as a strategy to enhance soft skills and promote more equitable, effective learning geared towards the integral development of the individual.
