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.
