Utilising serious games to make positive social change
Serious games are playful, interactive tools that tackle real issues in a fresh and creative way. They help players explore complex problems, gain new perspectives, and collaborate on solutions. Socialudo use games to spark honest conversations, strengthen teams, and build leadership skills through active, experiential learning.
You’ll leave this session with renewed energy, practical insights – and maybe a few surprises about your own leadership style!
