Curious about how video games bring history to life? Join us for an interactive two-hour workshop where we explore just that!

How do games like Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey manage to take the player on a journey into the past? How do video games represent history? How does the past become interactive? This two-hour workshop will explore these questions through an interactive Let’s Play. Together we will observe, analyze, and discuss how video games give shape to the past. In addition, we will consider elements of game design, mechanics, narrative, and characters and their influence on our understanding of historical events in video games. We are joined by experts from the VALUE Foundation (Leiden University) who will facilitate the workshop.

After the workshop, there will be a borrel to connect with others.

Organizers: Toni Pape and Georgia Samaritaki

This workshop is supported by the MA program Media Studies and is part of the Master Software Engineering Meetups.
