It is precisely this social role that we will discuss at the online conference on Gaming and Exercise! It is not only about how to combine sport, games, study, social interaction and sleep in the right way. It is mainly about how you can use gaming to make a neighbourhood and its residents more aware of issues relating to health, work and social cohesion. What opportunities does gaming offer in our current society? And how can we create connections with education and social organisations?

The online conference will cover:

  • the role of the municipality
  • the role of education
  • the role of social welfare
  • the connection between gaming, society and commercial initiatives
  • experiences and proven successes
