IGDA Turku April Meetup

🎲 April Meetup: Transforming Lives Through Game Design

Join us for our April gathering at Saaristobaari! This month, we are diving into the intersection of education, therapy, and analog gaming.

We are excited to welcome Taisto Suominen from the Turku University of Applied Sciences for an dissemination event of the Erasmus EDGE Project. This is a unique opportunity to see the project's results and explore how these innovations can be applied in professional practice.

What is EDGE?

The Erasmus EDGE Project is pioneering empowering game design education within the emerging field of Transformative Game Design. The project focuses on creating specialized educational materials for life-long learners in "helping professions"β€”including educators, therapists, youth workers, and spiritual directors.

Discover how analog role-playing games (RPGs) are being used as powerful vehicles for social and personal change.
