 the 2025 GHI 5th Forum! This session introduces the GHI Pillar Public Liter
 acies: Civic Systems\, Media & Emotional Intelligence\, in particular two p
 rojects AI Tools for Democracy & Self Awareness and Changing the Game of Di
 plomatic Hegemonies: Games Against Oppression. This session aims to set the
  stage for ongoing and upcoming project activities tied to this pillar by o
 ffering insights regarding the unique possibilities afforded by procedural 
 and systemic media to engage participants in intellectual discourse around 
 complex and volatile issues through conflict simulations\, negotiation game
 s\, and powerful artistic statements of peaceful resolution through cultura
 l exchange.\n\n \n\n5th GHI Forum\n\nTitle: Public Literacies: Civic System

 d scale attempt at shaping the future of public literacies has to take the 
 role of procedural and generative systems seriously. Technological innovati
 on and advances without ethical and sustainable grounding threatens a dysto
 pian future that only the grounded wisdom of the arts\, humanities\, and so
 cial sciences can overcome. Gabor Hollbeck will introduce the AI Tools for 
 Democracy & Self Awareness project which explores a new form of playful int
 eractive learning game aiming to teach emotional intelligence by simulating
  interpersonal conflicts with AI. The project brings together game design\,
  political cause areas and AI engagement together to strengthen societal co
 hesion. We will also hear from Lana Cook\, co-director of the MIT Systems A
 wareness Lab before we finish with a panel discussion about the role of gam
 es in challenging diplomatic hegemonies. Just as the “Changing the Game” pr
 oject centers community building for engagement and education\, the objecti
 ve of this panel is to share insights from studying and making this new kin
 d of games\, as well as to establish and strengthen ties between academics 
 and practitioners interested in these issues.\n\n \n\nLooking forward to se
 eing you at our events!\n\nThe GHI Team
