Chiba University of Commerce, Faculty of Policy Information, will hold a student-developed serious game experience event, “Board games change people, change cities” on August 2023, 8 (Saturday).
A serious game is a game that aims to make you feel familiar with local issues and financial problems of local governments as your own, and to think about specific measures for regional revitalization.Students will take a special lecture, "Serious Game Design," and through the planning and production of analog games on the theme of social issues, they will be able to improve their ability to abstract social issues, their ability to communicate through group work, and their collaborative skills. We are working.
In creating the game, the department collaborates with the students, and the students are also in charge of the illustrations and designs.On the day of the experience, participants will be given an opportunity to think about social issues, such as "policies in Tokyo's 23 wards," "differences in garbage separation by region," and "the current situation of child abuse and its solutions." 5 types of games are prepared for the purpose of understanding.
