🎮 What are the social and cultural impacts of videogames?
🔁 The impact of videogames beyond entertainment 🎮
We were honored to participate in this year’s #ECREA Conference, where we explored how diversity and inclusion shape the future of digital games. We reflected on how truly inclusive design doesn’t just invite different voices to the table — it ensures they are heard, valued, and empowered to co-create the experiences that define our digital world.
🔸 Our voice and views were proudly presented at the ECREA’s Digital Games Research Section symposium by Eva de Lera, Executive Director at Raising the Floor, our project partner in Brussels.
Eva joined the panel session on “Designing Societal Impact Games” sharing insights of our journey by including diverse voices in the co-creation and co-design of games. The paper “Inclusive game co-creation for enhanced culture heritage accessibility: Needs, barriers and facilitators for a multi-stakeholder community creation” reflected the impact of a co-creation process that unlocks creativity, strengthens communities, and sparks innovation that benefits everyone.
When we design with people rather than for them, we move closer to a digital culture that celebrates difference as the foundation of creativity and connection.
