selectparks - Supermarit: Games by Women

Annika Bergström, an old student of mine, wrote recently about a project they've kicked off in Visby, Sweden to "support and empower women’s position in the game industry and to encourage girls participation in the technoculture".

While we've certainly seen several academic conferences and business seminars on this topic in the past, Supermarit are comprised of women with first hand contact in the production, marketing and development of games. These guys practice what they preach.. need more of that.

The Supermarit crew have a program of workshops and conferences and will be mobile around the EU in the coming months.
