The call to game developers around the world from UNESCO MGIEP says, “At UNESCO MGIEP we recognize the enormous potential of digital Games as a tool for peace education, Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship. UNESCO MGIEP’s Gaming initiative aims to position games as innovative tools for transformative learning by engaging with game developers across genres; and encouraging and enabling them to integrate peace and sustainability themes in their games. The initiative will incubate games on serious, real-life issues that strike the right balance between exciting game play and transformative learning.”
