Epic We: video games to define European culture
Tuesday, January 20 and Wednesday, January 21
Lounge
Epic-We is a project that aims to give young people the opportunity to actively participate in shaping European culture and their own future by imagining, creating, and exchanging values and cultural heritage through the creation of video games.
It focuses on exploring and developing new models of cultural collaboration, on how different realities can work together towards a common goal: to create a space where responsible participation, innovation, and creativity are at the heart of every action. In particular, it is aimed at young people who want to learn how to design games that speak to the culture, traditions, and challenges of our time, with the aim of building cultural hubs that embrace the whole of Europe.
The showcase on January 20-21 is a real showcase of this vision. On this occasion, the video games created during the Cultural Game Jams held in Obidos (Portugal), Hilversum (Netherlands), and Aarhus (Denmark) will be presented. These games, prototyped by the young people during the jams, were then developed by programming studios, transforming them into finished products that can be played and enjoyed by everyone. Each game is the result of intense reflection on how we can grow together, harnessing the power of technology to shape a better world.
