computer games have become indispensable in the daily lives of children and adolescents. Even if in the public debate about computer games is still the subject of violence and addiction in the foreground, schools and parents understand more and more the importance of engagement with young people and their computer games. But start where? The adolescents adapt the games and online capabilities much faster and the adults know little about the computer games, are overwhelmed or have reservations about new media.
This is the initiative of Creative Gaming. It shows students, adults, teachers and educators practical ways to get creative and thereby also critically engage with the medium. Teachers, teacher educators and teachers get to know not only the play structures, but also receive incentives and ways in which these games can be integrated into the classroom.
If students decide jointly during a lesson with Creative Gaming, that in a first person shooter should be shot, rehearse sixteen year old boys in front of the classroom, a dance choreography and students who are otherwise reluctant to suddenly take the lead, so on end of the set of a first-person shooter to the vaudeville theater, then have all the social, cultural and creative sector learned something.

With the completion of a workshop, the binding participation goes to play10 - 3rd Festival for creative computer games of 2-4.
