Your Move: Games, Migration, and Social Impact

In 2019, more people are living outside their country of birth than ever before. Millions of people migrating experience detention, live in refugee camps, and must make difficult decisions about their future.

Can games help us understand the experiences of migrants around the world?

Could play inspire us to create real change?

In this conversation, game designers and researchers discuss how recent digital games have presented stories and choices of migration, and how they see play as a key to building empathy.

Speaker

Susanna Pollack, President of Game for Change

Nick Fortugno, Chief Creative Officer at Playmatics, co-creator of The Waiting Game

Billy Tally, Senior Research and Designer at EDC Center for Children and Technology

Greg Trefry, Partner and Designer at Gigantic Mechanic
