IGDA
 Games for Change empowers game creators and social innovators to drive real-world change using games and technology that help people to learn, improve their communities, and contribute to make the world a better place. We convene stakeholders through our annual G4C Festival and XR for Change Summit and foster the exchange of ideas and resources through workshops and consulting projects.
We inspire youth to explore civic issues and learn 21st-century and STEM skills through our Student Challenge and train educators to run game design classes on impact games. We incubate projects through our game design challenges and executive production expertise in coalition building. We act as an amplifier by curating games for change to the public through our games arcades and awards.

Ask anyone about Arte in the U.K., and you’ll probably be met with a puzzled look.
