The Nature Games, a free day of gaming, art and creativity for children and young people aged 0-18 kicks off this weekend with a Deep Dive Game Jam. Twenty young people – 10 from Wexford and 10 from Belfast - will develop a new video game from scratch. The mission is to save our environmental future. Climate action teams from Wexford and Belfast have supported the game jam, marking it as a creative way to encourage young people to value the environment and make more sustainable choices. The game will be played by the public on a huge screen at The Night Games, an evening event for teenagers at Whites Hotel on 15th June. Please email gamenightcruinniu@gmail.com for more details.
This event is just one of over fifty happening countywide for The Nature Games, which will use gaming to explore climate action and adaption.
