University of Pécs, College of Advanced Studies on Social Inclusion

Since 2016, the College of Advanced Studies on Social Inclusion (CASSI), a small unit of the University of Pécs, with university student membership, has been working on the development of social sensitivity games. The games serve a dual purpose, on the one hand, to familiarise players with important social values, mainly aimed at changing negative attitudes towards disadvantaged people based on gamification as a learning methodology, and on the other hand, to provide a testing framework for research by game developers. Players as participants of the games provide continuous feedback during CASSI events, both on the playability of the games and on the social and moral messages they contain. Hundreds of players have so far been introduced to the games at our events.
