TechCamp Istanbul is a promising gaming bootcamp meant to prove that games can create a common, prejudice-free language to discuss serious problems and start new solutions even in desperate times. Hosted by BUG Lab, in partnership with the Bureau of Educational & Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Consulate General Istanbul, the talk is focused on women empowerment, climate change, and disinformation, which are critical issues for Turkey as it is for the rest of the world.
