Paul Fischer is a game-design and diplomacy practitioner whose work has bridged public policy, cultural heritage, and community-centered game development worldwide. Most recently, he organized and managed multimillion-dollar programs that used game jams and interactive experiences to build cognitive resilience to disinformation, protect cultural heritage, and strengthen civic solidarity — including support efforts around Ukraine. He has worked closely with governments, NGOs, and global game communities to transform games into tools for public diplomacy, civic engagement, and global collaboration.
