Boston is proud to be hosting this year’s Independent Games Conference-East, and the Boston chapter of Games for Change is running a special workshop, “Change the World with Games.” The workshop brings together NGO leaders and game developers to discuss and take action on games for social change:

Non-Profit Organizations could be using games to communicate their mission fast, far, and wide. This workshop aims to demonstrate the potential of games to inform and motivate a wide audience. Attendees will work in small groups, directly with NPOs, to design mission-based games. Representatives from three local NPOs will be on hand to explain their missions and participate in the brainstorming. Attendees will choose one of the three missions as the theme for their design challenge, and work collaboratively over 45 minutes to design and share ideas. Game design experience is not necessary. Creativity is!
