PLAY16 - Creative Gaming Festival

“Zocken mit Sinn” (Gaming with mind) is a series of workshops for children and teenager, founded by the “infocafe” in order to develop a place for gamer and pedagogs to discover digital games. One of the most exciting and interesting topics is the depiction of gender in games. “Gender and Games” are two workshops that discuss the role of gender and sexuality in games as well as the way we handle them. In this Conference Workshop, Stephan Schölzel of “infocafe Neu Isenburg” highlights the methods and discoveries of gender-sensitive work in the field of digital games and encourages the participants to become active within this field.
