Games for Change India Festival
Games for Change India Festival 2026
17–18 November 2026 | Alliance Française de Bangalore
Come ready to play, exchange ideas and see games differently.
Games for Change is the world’s leading nonprofit dedicated to harnessing the power of games and immersive media for learning, innovation and social impact. Games for Change India is part of this global community, bringing people together to explore how play can create positive change.
The Games for Change India Festival is a two-day gathering exploring how games can go beyond entertainment. They can transform learning, tell powerful stories, encourage participation, build empathy and help us imagine new possibilities.
Through conversations, demonstrations, workshops and shared moments of play, the festival will bring together game creators, students, educators, artists, storytellers, researchers, technologists and social-impact communities from across India.
You do not need to work in games to belong here. You might be designing your first game, using play in a classroom, supporting young creators, trying to better understand your child’s gaming world or simply interested in what happens when creativity meets purpose.
Come to experience new games, discover practical ideas, meet people outside your usual circle and find something you may want to build together.
