Let’s Design Board Games! Explore a Playful Way to Tackle Social and Cultural Issues
Description
This is a 5-day design workshop that focuses on designing board games. It introduces how board games help raise awareness, propose interventions, and resist social and cultural issues through their playfulness. Participants will play, discuss and design board games in groups. At the end of the workshop, every participant will leave the room with an understanding of basic board game design logic, how to incorporate social and cultural elements into the design, and, more importantly, a board game prototype in hand!
We highly encourage you to work in groups in this workshop!
