In the Serious Games Workshop, designers, educators, entrepreneurs and students develop new game prototypes over two days. This year, the focus is on cooperative games dedicated to the topic of "change".
The workshop will be flanked by a workshop programme and a final slam. The slam is the grand finale of the workshop: The freshly developed prototypes are presented in front of an audience, which finally chooses the slam king or kings.
