PDN Pro-Social. Prosocial Design in Social Gaming

​Social gaming, even more so than social media, depends on its users not just being engaged but having fulfilling experiences. That's perhaps why social gaming developers and researchers are ahead of the game in thinking about how design can foster positive interactions.

​In the Pro-Social we're fortunate to get to talk with Kimberly Voll, researcher, CEO of Brace Yourself Games, and co-founder of Thriving in Games Group which creates the Digital Thriving Playbook. We'll hear from Dr. Voll about what she sees as the fundamental principals of designing for prosociality and play around with how social media and other digital platforms can learn from social gaming.

​About Pro-Socials: Pro-Socials are informal meet-ups, where technologists and researchers can learn from - and inspire - each other around understanding and integrating prosocial design. Each Pro-Social includes a motivating question, conversation with experts and break-out convos where you can meet like-minded technologists (designers, product managers, entrepreneurs and trust & safety professionals) and researchers to share insights and begin to co-create new knowledge together.

​In partnership with the Council on Technology and Social Cohesion.
