Insightful briefing from Helena Puig Larrauri on the 2014 Games4Change conference.

This past week, I’ve been enjoying the Games for Change Festival – highly recommend it to anyone thinking about how to use technology for positive social change. The festival brings together a vibrant, creative community of game developers and researchers that have a lot to say not just about how games can change societies, but more generally about what change is and how it relates to the human condition.

And yes, inevitably, I had a peacebuilding hat on. There’s a lot we can learn from games and gamers. Here are some of the threads (and games) from the conference that really stuck with me.
