Tampere Universities community has a lot of expertise and insight on gaming culture and how games can strive to make a difference – or make the world more sustainable! Together with our Gamification group, Our Planet at Play project, and the Student Union of Tampere University TREY, we invite you to a gaming night concentrating on games that address sustainability and responsibility themes and issues like climate change.
