DESCRIPTION

The International Conference on Videogames and Social Impact is a professional event that seeks to establish links between the world of videogames, social organizations and educational and cultural entities. CIVIS will take place on November 18 and 19 at the Polo Nacional de Contenidos Digitales, in Malaga.

In addition to the conferences and workshops we will have tables of local experiences, a networking space to share and get to know each other and an exhibition area where we can play various games with social impact as well as all the games developed during one of the events of the conference, the CIVIS GAME JAM, which will take place on October 18, 19 and 20.

CIVIS GAME JAM is a space for collective creation and cooperation between artists, video game developers, social entities and public administrations. The theme of the game jam will be focused on the development of impact video games, with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a framework and the experience of several local entities, which will share their work to inspire us.

At Videojuegos Sin Fronteras we believe in the transformative potential of video games. We believe that video games are cultural products and, as such, they are capable of creating and modifying meanings; therefore, they can be a tool to understand and transform our realities.
