Friday Food: PING
Poverty is not a game: achtergrond & demo
2010 is the European Year of Poverty and Social Exclusion, situations which are still all too real for many European teenagers but at the same time remain abstract problems to many others. What if we could make them more tangible, help youngsters understand what it is to be poor by letting them experience the problems poor people are confronted with? Based on this premise the serious game project PING was instigated by KBS in collaboration with IBBT and developed in collaboration with partners from all over Europe. During this Friday Food talk, the theoretical basis, design goals and test results of PING will be presented together with a live demo of the game.
