Games for Change

Games for Change seeks to harness the extraordinary power of video games to address the most pressing issues of our day, including poverty, human rights, global conflict and climate change. We are a voice for the transformative power of video games, bringing together organizations and individuals from the non-profits sector, journalism, academia, industry and the arts, to grow the community and provide a platform for the exchange of ideas. Through this work, Games for Change promotes new kinds of video games that engage contemporary social issues in meaningful ways to foster a more just, equitable and tolerant society.
