Dataspelsbranschen invites you to a member meeting on the current topic of radicalisation and influence attempts in games.
The secretariat’s understanding is that while the volume of the problem maybe limited it is worth taking seriously. There has been significant attention to the topic in the media and in various reports this year.
At this meeting, experts will share their findings from research and reports and members will have the opportunity to ask questions, share learnings and discuss.
The meeting will be held in English.
Guests:
Dominik Sweicicki, Psychological Defence Agency (Myndigheten för psykologiskt försvar)
Jesper Falkheimer, Lund University
Åsa Mitchell, EXPO
Aya Winssi, Sverok
