"Designing for Tomorrow" is the theme of the 2025 Games for Change Festival, bringing together creators and changemakers from diverse backgrounds. Through workshops, sessions, and interactive arcades, we'll explore how games and immersive media can transform entertainment into measurable impact and design the next chapter of our medium as a force for good.
