Game
Changers is a programme for young people who want to learn about issues
affecting our world today. Game changers encourages young people to engage with
global justice issues by creating either board, card or digital games. It is
open to young people from primary, post primary and youth settings.
To
support young people, teachers and youth workers through this process, Trócaire
offers free workshops in schools. The workshops explore what global justice
means, and introduces young people to games design techniques. Young people
then design their own games exploring global justice issues, such as climate
change, gender equality or conflict and enter it in the Game Changers
competition.
If you would like to sign up or learn more, email your local field officer and eco-schools@keepnorthernirelandbeautiful.org.
You can also download the educator pack HERE, which is full of advice and information on how to work with your class/youth group in designing their own game, as well as having all of the logistical information you need to enter the competition. (*Will update with the 2024-2025 dates when available.)
