EmpowerUp has been tasked with\ndeveloping a workshop experience to support a more inclusive game industry. We\nwant to empower students going into the game industry, by giving them a strong\nfoundation to succeed and helping them identify as allies to help their peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our highest priorities are increasing our player’s knowledge of workplace issues prior to going into the industry and ensuring they have a lasting investment to change that and make it better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our goal is to provide a game along\nwith facilitated reflection moments, activities, and discussions. By the end of\nthe workshop, we expect a successful outcome of participants being able to:\nrecognize the signs of peers that need help, recognize allies, and act as\neffective allies for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our high level purpose is to create a more inclusive game industry by preparing and empowering future game developers to expect better and promote fair workplace practices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
