‘Gaming Europe’ National Workshop 1 (Lisbon)

About the event

With the “Gaming Europe” project looking at video games, the Green European Foundation aims to engage its audience directly in workshops on the use of video games by European teenagers aged 12 to 14. Based on the results of these workshops, we aim to assess with experts from both the education sector and the video games world whether video games can be used as a medium to address the topic of Europe in an engaging, fun, and non-patronising fashion for this target group and, if the answer is yes, develop a game concept. The ultimate, long-term goal of the project is to transfer this game concept into a game accessible to youth across Europe.

This national workshop’s main objective is to give the floor to young Portuguese about their taste and habits in video games, their interest and knowledge of the European Union, learning to conceptualise the skeleton of a fun and interesting game with a video game developer around the theme of Europe and its values. Around the table, we will have both young gamers aged 12-14, but also nonprofit representatives working on education, and video game designers.
