Workshops for young and adults, games jams, video game showcases, esports tournaments or online events hosted by influencers on Twitch, and more. A wide range of workshops and events can be organized to reach new audiences and showcase French video game talents!

Workshops and playful events

Alongside the world-renowned studios, video games inspire artists and irrigate the various fields of artistic creation. Independent artists and collectives seize upon it and divert it to reach out to all audiences, organizing original workshops and playful events: workshops for young people and adults, games jams (i.e. hackathons with video games as their main theme), conferences, debates, shows and more.
