Diversity makes a difference
About half a billion people play a computer game every day! They come from every corner of the world and are just as diverse as our planet is! At Futuregames of course we see diversity as an essential part of everything we do, from the students who study with us to the staff and teachers we employ. But diversity is also crucial for the games we make! We want to break norms, make real change and inspire future generations to see games as inclusive, safe and as truly creative spaces. We want to be ambitious; we don’t think that games just give us places to play but are vital for our future development. They’re an important part of our lives, our cultural diversity, they provide the social spaces where we meet and frame the way we will communicate with each other now and in the future.
Ok! these are big words! But if we really want to be diverse it’s not about what we say about what we want to do, but what we are doing every day.
‣ We reach out to the world in all our communication in ways that are inclusive
‣ We reach out to people regardless of their identity
‣ We never discriminate because of religious belief, political opinion, ethnicity, origin, functional variation, age, gender, sexual orientation, non-binary identity marital and family status
‣We are open and transparent
‣We act directly and quickly when anyone breaks our codes of conduct
