Join us for the final EPIC-WE webinar – a showcase of how young creatives are transforming cultural heritage into games.

Over the past year, EPIC-WE has brought together youth, educators, and cultural institutions across Europe to explore how cultural game jams can unlock new ways of engaging with local heritage.
Now it’s time to show what that actually looks like.

What to expect

In just one hour, you’ll:

  • Get a snapshot of the EPIC-WE project and how cultural game jams empower youth to creatively engage with cultural heritage.
  • Meet three outstanding youth teams from Denmark, the Netherlands, and Portugal, as they present the games they built — and the stories behind them.
  • Hear from hub representatives on what makes the process work and how others can adopt this model.

Who should join?

This session is designed for:

  • Students and young creatives who want to create their own games and be inspired.
  • Higher Education Institutions exploring innovative learning formats and research methodologies.
  • Creative Industry professionals interested in youth co-creation and gaming.
  • Cultural Heritage organisations looking to engage new audiences through play.
