"In video games, all female characters are princesses in distress and male characters must be strong soldiers." These classic role models are exemplified to us above all in the cultural asset of gaming. Does it have to be that way?
To answer this question, brave heroines are needed! Join in our quest "Discover Diversity" and discuss about (in)equality on exciting zeitgeist topics in video games.
Recommended for Padawans and Veteran*s from level 16 to 35.
