Abstract

This talk will present the process and results of a Cultural Game Jam (CGJ) held at the
ARoS Art Museum in Aarhus, Denmark, from March 3 to 7, 2025. The participants – 45
undergraduate students from Aarhus University – worked in teams to create 11 ‘valuesensitive games for culture’ in response to the CGJ’s theme: “That’s Not Fair!”. The video
games were created by embedding intangible cultural heritage (European values: human
dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, and respect for human rights) into the
game world and gameplay, as well as drawing on tangible heritage from contemporary art
installations at ARoS. The event took place as part of the EPIC-WE project – a Horizon
Europe Research and Innovation Action (2023–2026), aiming to empower youth as
participants in, and co-creators of, European culture through game-making.
