Games and Politics at Play24 - Creative Gaming Festival
– 1 min read
This year's Play24 - Creative Gaming Festival will explore the relationship between digital games and politics, and how they can be used to explore social and political issues. The festival is opening its exhibition exclusively to school classes and youth groups.
This year's Play24 - Creative Gaming Festival, which takes place from 11 to 16 November 2024 at the Jupiter in Hamburg (Mönckebergstraße 2-4), will focus on what digital games have to do with politics and how they make socio-political issues tangible. "You got the Power" is the theme of this year's festival. An international exhibition, shows, lectures, talks and workshops will explore how games and politics interact, how digital games can trigger participatory processes and be used to express opinions.
School classes can now book their places on the school workshops and exhibition tours, and young people aged 14 and over are invited to join the YoungPLAY team and share their knowledge. The YoungPLAY youth team will help prepare parts of the programme and curate their own exhibition. Interested young people can also help with jury work, organisation and facilitation by E-mail.
The Play24 - Creative Gaming Festival brings together digital games and gaming culture with media art, discourse and education for the 17th time and was last attended by 9,000 people in Hamburg and around 800,000 people online.
