Let the Games Begin: 101 Workshop on Making Social Issue Games

Based on feedback we've received over the past few years, we've created a one-of-a-kind workshop for non-profits new to the field of social issue games at the start of the 2008 G4C Festival. This workshop is a soup-to-nuts tutorial on the fundamentals of social issue games. The workshop will feature leading experts on topics including game design, fundraising, evaluation, youth participation, distribution, and press strategies, and will be extended for the rest of the year through an online community dedicated to learning about social issue games.

There has been tremendous response to this workshop, one of 17 winners (out of 1000+) of the MacArthur Foundation's DML Competition. And to ensure a meaningful experience for participants, we must maintain the limited seating capacity of 200. This is also a free event, which adds to the appeal. For these reasons, we have created a very simple application process to make sure that the non-profits we created this day for get first priority.
