EDGE

Empowering Game Design Education

Visby, Sweden Kickoff Complete!

Sarah Lynne Bowman

We had a wonderful time at our hybrid in-person Kickoff event in Visby, Sweden Nov. 14-15, 2023! We had meetings for all five work packages, including planning our additions to the curriculum (WP2), our textbook and implementation guide (WP3), our Tech Tookit (WP4), and our larp to teach transformative game design (WP5). The consortium was joined by several volunteers, including  Stockholm University of the Arts Ph.D. student Josephine Rydberg and Uppsala University Master’s students Daniil Kovalenko, Guus Quinten van Tilborg, and Nguyen Robertson.
