New research has uncovered a multitude of positive functions of video games, but this Ivan Marovic keynote discusses a completely novel use for this virtual method of entertainment -- converting it into a agent for peace.
The Serbian activist believes that the virtual world poses a unique opportunity for the effective and efficient dissemination of information and the promotion of connectivity. He discusses the ways that traditional media such as film and print can transmit knowledge, but only for a short period of time and only to a select audience.
Furthermore, reading or absorbing this information is not as effective as engaging and interacting with the content. By playing a game that allows the player to act out the strategies they are learning about, it puts the knowledge into action. This provides them with concrete evidence as to why a non-violent conflict resolution strategy is effective.
