The Games for Change organization will celebrate its 20th anniversary by holding its annual summit at the United Nations in New York.
The event will take place from July 17 to July 21, with a program that includes a first-of-its-kind summit at the UN headquarters in New York City. The event, which is about the charitable organization’s mission to change the world with games, will feature a Next Gen Fest for 13-year-olds to 18-year-olds, as well as the Games and Sustainable Development Goals.
“This is our 20th anniversary for Games for Change. And to celebrate, we have expanded our programming to touch on different ways to connect with and celebrate the different audiences that we serve,” said Susanna Pollack, president of Games for Change, in an interview with GamesBeat.
The Games for Change Festival will now include an entire week of events, hosted in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Additionally, the youth event will cap the week-long events, providing a forum for young people to explore and shape the future of video games for impact across education, civics, health, science, and more.
