We are pleased to announce the Transformative Play Initiative Event Series at Uppsala University's Department of Game Design. Starting in July 2021, the series will feature monthly events, including lectures and roundtables, from prominent thinkers and practitioners interested in using role-playing games as vehicles for change. We will also hold Town Hall Meetings for group discussions and lightning talks from community members on topics pertaining to transformative play. These events will take place on Zoom and will be archived in YouTube for posterity. 

Topics we plan to address:

  • Personal and Social Development
  • Educational Applications
  • Capacity Building
  • Therapeutic Considerations
  • Well-Being
  • ​Youth Work
  • Peace, Conflict, and Community Activism
  • Safety and Cultural Consultancy
  • Sustainable Heritage
  • Documentation and Integration

Stay tuned for more details about specific events!
