Description
An innovative video game aims to help refugee children from Ukraine integrate and feel at home in Zurich. They can playfully explore the city of Zurich in a virtual way and at the same time establish local references to their hometown.
In a 3D model of the city of Zurich, defining buildings are modeled, e.g. the main station and the ETH Zurich, and these are playfully replaced by corresponding buildings from Ukrainian cities. The goal is to take care of the city and find yourself in it.
