The Life Game Project
Ian Howard from the not-for-profit "Life Game Project" will tell us how LGP uses computer games to encourage life skills and positive lifestyle choices amongst disadvantaged youth.
The Life Game Project (LGP) works with community groups, educationalists, IT folk, developers and a range of make-it-happen people to put video games in the hands of people who would not otherwise have access to a positive games experience. They do this by providing refurbished computers to under-served communities so people can play games in a supervised and supportive environment. We also encourage the development of video games with content that addresses local needs.
