The Bank

This workshop is part of the Elevate:Eye programme at the Bank Arts Centre in Eye this autumn. Anyone 14+ who is curious about making games can explore tools &amp; tricks, build a network, and learn how to use games to express themselves over the course of 5 Saturdays – with the support of games industry experts. During this practical and approachable guide to giving (and surviving) feedback in the Games Industry, you will learn from Melissa Phillips, Director at Games Leadership®. In this session, Melissa Phillips explores the complex dynamics of giving and receiving feedback in creative environments such as Game Studios. Through real examples, personal stories, and interactive elements, this talk offers practical tools to help teams approach feedback that feels more grounded, respectful, and actually useful. Together, you will explore:<ul><li>Understanding the role of Context, Consent, and Empathy in effective feedback</li><li>Navigating feedback across power dynamics - whether giving feedback upwards, downwards, or peer-to-peer</li><li>Practical strategies for receiving feedback constructively and without defensiveness</li><li>Real-world scenarios from the Games Industry: what works, what doesn’t, and why</li><li>Approaches to building a feedback culture that supports growth rather than fear</li></ul>Sign up for this workshop as a standalone or for the whole Elevate:Eye programme.Don't miss out on the PM Session with <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/elevateeye-writing-dialogue-that-feels-real-tickets-1670451949749" title="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/elevateeye-writing-dialogue-that-feels-real-tickets-1670451949749" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Samantha Webb about "Writing Dialogue That Feels Real"</a> as well!
