  While games may help to support skills practice and attitudinal change, the
game creation process itself may also be effective in enhancing empathy and
compassion for other people. Nigeria has over 250 ethnic groups and 500
languages amid its 200 million people. We aim to enhance perspective-taking,
empathy, and compassion across different ethnic groups using game jams in
public schools in Nigeria. In 2021, we piloted a game jam focused on identity
exploration and perspective-taking for students ages 12 to 20. Initial results
and next steps are shared.
