Across the entire sector, we see wonderful initiatives. It's high time for a DEN Award to bring such initiatives to the spotlight! Out of all the inspiring submissions, 5 nominees have been selected. Check them out below.
And the winner is... Streaming the past!
Congratulations! Streaming the Past by VALUE Foundation (opens in new tab) is the winner of the DEN Award!
Streaming the past is a bold initiative. VALUE Foundation streams while playing historical games. This allows scientists and gamers to engage in conversations with each other. They bridge the gap between these two worlds. We are impressed by the surprising use of the medium of games. The aim is to both have fun together and engage in serious discussions about the past. Truly an innovative way to involve new audiences and provide an experience.
