At the Bilkent University in Ankara I was invited to share the experience of Applying play and creating games with an impact with students and teachers for two days.
First morning we discussed the magic circle as a model to design a game and used the design of Pac-man by Toru Iwatani as hypothetical example. Next all participants were asked to create a game concept on the theme: “are you normal” or a game titled: “dilemmachine”. Beautifull concepts and prototypes have been created using the worksheets and provided materials.

Topics on trust and distrust, balancing peace, and feeling an outsider have been explored in these concepts. See some of the photo’s here:
