How can games help tackle real-world financial challenges and create meaningful change?
Join us for an interactive live webinar featuring the World Food Programme and explore the barriers that prevent millions of women from fully participating in the digital economy. Around the world, many women face challenges accessing and using digital financial services, including limited digital skills, lack of trust in financial systems, restricted access to phones and accounts, and social norms that limit their financial decision-making.
Through real-world examples, participants will learn how improving women's access to and confidence in digital financial services can help them receive payments safely, manage their money more effectively, build financial resilience, and unlock new economic opportunities for themselves and their families.
The session will also explore how game design can be used to raise awareness, build empathy, encourage learning, and inspire practical solutions. Participants will be invited to develop creative concepts that help women navigate digital financial services, strengthen trust and confidence, and make the most of the opportunities that digital tools can offer.
Understand the barriers. Build trust. Unlock opportunity. Design games that make a difference.
