Guiding perspectives

playing

• Open sessions:
  • Drop in, play, share ideas, argue.
  • Making games and technology available that not everyone can get at.
• Answering questions and lending a hand with advice and practical help on everything to do with digital games.
• Playing across the generations:
  • Making digital games available to parents and older people.
  • Encouraging dialogue between the generations about digital games.
• Observing, explaining and illustrating the USK age ratings and youth protection rules.
• Having fun and exploring games!

discovering

• Making the spread of the Zollernalbkreis work for us:
  • Different offerings are provided at various locations across the whole Zollernalbkreis.
  • Local institutions run tournaments that can serve as qualifiers for district-wide championships.
  • A network of different institutions across the Zollernalbkreis, each with its own focus.
• At the CSS ZAK, digital games are not simply used as they are at home:
  • Games are introduced that are not in the mainstream of what children and young people play.
  • Mainstream games are used to support the worthwhile aspects of playing (teamwork, fair play and so on).
  • Digital games are used as a way into particular subjects.

learning

• Specific workshops on various subjects:
  • The digital game itself is the subject (for example „Unstoppables" on the theme of inclusion).
  • The digital game is used to work on another subject (for example democracy, with the game Minetest/Minecraft).
  • Small games of your own are programmed (with Bloxels, for instance).
  • Various robots are programmed (Ozobots and the Dash robot, for instance).
• Information evenings for parents and anyone interested (for example on the subject
  „Digital games: self-fulfilment and escapism")
• Professional development for practitioners:
  • On using digital games in the classroom and in educational work.
  • On dealing with children and young people who spend (too) much time on digital games.
