    Sheroes in Games. Girls designing digital games: networking, training, advocacy is a two years work-in-progress project (Nov 2020 - Nov 2022) that aims to bridge the gender gap in videogames addressing the necessity of working towards a more inclusive videogame industry in three main areas: content, production and environment. For this we understand that it is mandatory to engage girls and their families before entering college in order to show them that videogames can be a career option and that their participation and voice is crucial if we want to build a better and mature industry, more diverse, egalitarian and richer in content.

    We created a community of practice (CoP) to promote the transfer and amplification of knowledge building in an open and collaborative way. To encourage knowledge sharing across different countries, we designed and built a toolkit in the format of a semantic wiki that we named: Sheroes in Games wiki. There we gathered the different aspects that are needed to be taken into account when designing educational activities for young girls and the particular need of building lobby strategies that demonstrates the impact on girls of the current state of the games industry when it comes to gender equity and women representation.

    This paper summarizes the results of this strategy that generates spaces to encourage concrete solutions based on the transfer of knowledge to eliminate gender inequality in the disciplinary field of video games, in addition to proposing possible alternatives to generate the sustainability of a CoP that provides methodologies to ensure gender equality from education.

    Sheroes is run by the Goethe-Institut in Argentina in partnership with educational institutions, Women in games associations and studios in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru as well as Venezuela ​​and it is funded by the Federal Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany. It began in April 2021 and will finish in November 2022 when it will be officially presented and opened to the public with the hope to keep growing thanks to open collaboration.
