Summary
Video games can play a key role in advancing digital skills and education across Europe and beyond, according to speakers at the “How Video Games Can Support the Union of Skills” event in Brussels. The event highlighted the UNICEF Game Changers Coalition, which has reached over 150,000 people and aims to equip girls in emerging economies with STEAM skills through gaming. Research from the Games in Schools initiative shows that video games enhance student motivation, inclusivity, and creativity. However, the need to upskill teachers remains critical. Industry leaders advocate for collaborative, innovative strategies to bridge the digital skills and gender gaps.
