[NCUC-DISCUSS] Competition - Games for social change - bring fun to civic issues

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hi all

This is the kick-off event for a competition which will go on in July 18 in
London.

Basically it's a research group looking for ideas of games to
incubate/fundraise

They have to be games for social change and civic tech themes

Would be interesting something around the theme of DNS Policy

May the games begin :)

A hit game is fun but also an opportunity for deep learning and
transformative experience. As technology, politics and urbanisation makes
our lives more complex, games can help us to learn faster about things we
need to know to thrive in this new post-truth world.

Cybersalon.org will host a panel on how game creatives and social
innovators can put spotlight on real-world challenges like state and work
surveillance, fake news and anti-democratic practices of modern governments
while providing inspiring game experience.
