Cultural Game Jam Kit: Facilitator's Handbook

This Cultural Game Jam Kit: Facilitator's Handbook is a practical tool for partners in the cultural and creative sectors who wish to plan and deliver a Cultural Game Jam (CGJ). This guide is designed as a working manual — a practical companion for facilitators, educators, creative professionals, and cultural organisations. Whether you are from a museum, archive, creative studio, or cultural hub, this guide aims to help you plan, deliver, and evaluate a game jam that integrates cultural heritage, youth empowerment, and creative innovation. Cultural Game Jams (CGJs) bring together youth citizens (YCs), creative industries (CIs), cultural heritage institutions (CHIs), and (higher) education partners (HEIs) to co-create games inspired by cultural themes and materials.
