DESCRIPTION

For many of us, video games are a part of our daily lives. Their proper use can be a great ally in educational, social, therapeutic, technological terms, etc.

However, if not used responsibly, they can lead to negative consequences in gamers.

For the exhibition “Game On,” Fundación Canal is pleased to invite you to a conference that addresses this vitally important topic on the opportunities and risks associated with video games, with an especially high impact on children and youth.

The perspective of guest experts provides a diagnosis on the use of video games in Spanish society, the measures necessary to encourage responsible use, and the role that parents and educators must play.
