Video games explained to parents

PédaGoJeux's mission is to make video games accessible to all, and to provide advice on how to play them safely within the family. Since 2008, the group has been helping parents to understand games and share them with their children.

For five days, you can meet the members of PédaGoJeux to discuss issues that are important to many parents: the choice of games, screen time, parental control systems, all subjects that the collective will be delighted to discuss with the whole family.

This creative expertise is recognised the world over.
