How to foster gender inclusive gaming education?
Join us for an insightful event focused on fostering gender inclusivity in gaming education. The session, organised in the context of The All Digital Weeks 2024, brings together experts and researchers to explore the pathways and challenges faced by women in the gaming and STEM industries. Through presentations and discussions, we will delve into findings from the NuGamers project, share experiences, and discuss future initiatives. The NuGamers project aims at innovating the way VET providers in the gaming sector organise and implement their orientation activities and their curricula so that they are more gender-inclusive and effective in engaging women. Its specific objectives are: to increase the knowledge and awareness on gender biases in gaming education; to enhance the capacity of VET staff to think and act in a more gender inclusive way; to equip VET staff with gender-inclusive tools to be used in orientation activities.
