You are warmly invited to a Lunch & Learn seminar, The Game Needs to Change, with Patrick Prax from the Department of Game Design.

The seminar explores how games can contribute to addressing climate change and how sustainability can be meaningfully integrated into game development and digital media. Based on insights from a recent book drawing on both industry practice and research, the discussion will highlight systemic approaches, storytelling for sustainable futures, and practical strategies for turning sustainability from theory into action.

We will be providing a lunch salad, and as we need to know how many to order, you need to register for the seminar via this link.
