GAMES FOR CHANGE MIGRATION CHALLENGE: A $10,000 GAME DESIGN COMPETITION ON
MIGRATION

[image: G4C Migration Design Challenge]
*Send your game ideas about migration integration for our $10,000
challenge!*

The integration of migrant populations has always been an important issue
faced by many countries all around the world. Integration is a two-way
street, with native-born and immigrant populations both experiencing
significant change, challenges and opportunity. How can a game help people
understand and work through concerns over perceived job competition and
changes in the cultural fabric while recognizing the economic, linguistic,
and cultural benefits that can accrue to the broader society when
immigrants can also succeed? How can a game experience emphasize community
engagement to help migrants and their neighbors improve their understanding
of each other?

This is where you come in. In partnership with the Migration Policy
Institute, Games for Change is hosting a $10,000 migrant game design
challenge that hopes to inspire the creation of a game that connects
existing and migrating communities. We want to address the importance of
how integration is a two-way street, with both communities experiencing
drastic new conflicts and opportunities that are unique to cultural
integration.

The challenge is open to entrants from all around the world and requires no
previous development experience to submit game design ideas that will
engage the players to think about the long term effects and issues of
migrant integration in their own lives and communities.
