Since 2004, Games for Change (G4C) has empowered game creators, students, educators, and social innovators to drive real-world impact through games and immersive media.
Introducing G4C for the future of games in Korea, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) is collaborating with G4C to introduce a new paradigm in the Korean game scene. Through this partnership, SKKU aims to foster socially impactful game design and innovation, empowering the next generation of creators to address real-world challenges through games.

Active in conferences, education, research, and development, G4C believes games can drive positive change by raising awareness of social issues like education, health, and the environment. The organization collaborates with global companies (e.g. Microsoft, Meta, YouTube), government agencies, top universities, and social foundations.
