Introduction:

At the heart of the Humanitarian Game Network initiative is a regular webinar series, where we’ll bring you face-to-face with the minds behind influential humanitarian games. Each month, we’ll feature a different developer, delving into their creative process, the purpose behind their games, and the tangible impact they’re striving to make.

From social issues to environmental advocacy, these developers are creating games aimed at driving humanitarian impact. Our goal is to make the valuable knowledge of these visionary game developers more accessible.

The webinars are designed to be interactive. At the end of each session, the audience have the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas, and join in discussions with developers.

Upcoming Webinar:

We are currently preparing future webinars and will share more details soon. Stay tuned for updates.
