Games for Good
Games are brilliant at engendering empathy by allowing you to experience the life of other people first hand.
The panel discusses how games can go beyond just entertainment exploring subjects as varied as mental health, religion, autism and sexism. It will discuss how games can help you to experience situations from other peoples stand points, challenge you through self-reflection rather than directly from others and help you to feel the impact of your own behaviour and viewpoint.
