GamEngage
Serious games are games designed for purposes beyond pure entertainment. They are regarded as a transdisciplinary tool for social learning and can be used to communicate, co-generate and test climate knowledge and resilience solutions through stakeholder engagement and public participation.
GamEngage is an international network of serious game researchers, developers, and practitioners. The network brings together partners across disciplines, regions, and sectors to co-develop new opportunities to use serious games for climate adaptation and resilience building.
Objectives
The GamEngage project has three objectives.
- We develop and coordinate an international community of serious games.
- We promote serious games and facilitate collaborations by organising events and activities, including workshops, gameplay sessions, game development projects, and research projects.
- We create the GameBook, a toolbox for serious game beginners and deliver it through the network. The GameBook is an open book that aims to support the use and design of serious games with detailed guidance.
Funders
GamEngage has received support from multiple sources, including the Innovation for All grant from the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, the Cardiff Innovation Development Scheme, the Hazel Prichard Impact Prize from Cardiff University, and the Institute for Global Sustainable Development at the University of Warwick.
