We are proud to announce that the recordings of EPIC-WE’s Capacity Building Series 2024-2025 are now available on our resource website. This initiative marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing across creative industries (CIs), cultural heritage institutions (CHIs), and higher education institutions (HEIs). These dynamic webinars and workshops are designed to address the pressing need for capacity building and upskilling in the realms of gaming, culture, and digital technologies.
The Goal: Bridging Sectors, Empowering Change
The primary aim of the EPIC-WE Capacity Building Series is to create an interconnected ecosystem that brings together Cultural Heritage Institutions (CHIs), Creative Industries (CIs), and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), along with youth, to collectively explore the role of games in shaping, celebrating, and transforming culture. By fostering meaningful collaboration across these sectors, we are not only addressing the evolving landscape of cultural representation in gaming but also empowering the next generation of professionals to drive innovation in these fields.
Understanding “Games for Culture”
The concept of Games for Culture is central to the EPIC-WE initiative. It is more than a series of discussions—it’s a community, a platform for dialogue and exploration. The idea is simple yet profound: games and culture are inextricably linked. At Games for Culture, we provide a safe and inclusive space where individuals and institutions can come together to discuss the intersection of gaming and cultural heritage. We explore how these worlds can collaborate, innovate, and thrive.
What to Expect from the Series
