On May 18, I was in Lausanne to meet <a href=\"https:\/\/eliasfarhan.ch\/\">Elias Farhan<\/a>, Head of Game Programming at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sae.edu\/che\/de\">SAE Institute Gen\u00e8ve<\/a>. When he\u2019s not in Lausanne, he\u2019s traveling the world with \u2018Soup Raiders\u2019, the newest concept of his game studio \u2018Team KwaKwa\u2019. Next to his experience in the games industry, he has a personal interest in politics.<\/p>\n<p>First we talked about political participation in the French speaking and the German speaking parts of Switzerland. Then we discussed how games could benefit the neutral motivation of voters. Elias gave me useful tips on how to approach the game design for CH+. Next to practical ideas and suggestions, he recommended a couple of apps which I could analyse for inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is clear: this was not my last journey into the Romandie!<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/chplus1\/files\/2019\/05\/SophieWalker_EliasFarham_CHplus-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/chplus1\/files\/2019\/05\/SophieWalker_EliasFarham_CHplus.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/chplus1\/files\/2019\/05\/SophieWalker_EliasFarham_CHplus-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/chplus1\/files\/2019\/05\/SophieWalker_EliasFarham_CHplus-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/chplus1\/files\/2019\/05\/SophieWalker_EliasFarham_CHplus-676x507.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>With Pikachu and Elias in Team KwaKwa\u2019s office.
