Play for… Citizens Participation and Inclusion

Can games and play encourage civic engagement and inclusion? The Playful Paradigm partner cities of Esplugues de Llobregat in Spain, Katowice in Poland and Larissa in Greece focused their action on using games and gamification, even adopting digital platforms, for ensuring a wider participation of specific categories of residents and active inclusion at local level. With URBACT Expert Ileana Toscano, Pilar Diaz, Mayor of Esplugues de Llobregat (SP), Michał Kucharski, URBACT Local Group Coordinator for the Playful Paradigm in Katowice (PL) and Vasilis Mitsios URBACT Local Group Coordinator for the Playful Paradigm in Larissa (GR).
