That is the starting point when the Broad-Based Esports Alliance invites you to “Games on Stage” at Sentralen in Oslo
On Tuesday, May 5, the Grassroots Esports Alliance is hosting the event “Games on Stage” at Sentralen in Oslo. Through a lively and interactive performance, the organizer aims to challenge stereotypes and show what gaming and organized grassroots esports are actually like in practice. The event is free and will take place in the Forstanderskapssalen from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m..
The program features both entertaining demonstrations and candid debates on topics that concern many parents and adults, including screen time, violence in video games, and the mental health of children and young people. The goal is to give the audience a more nuanced view of gaming, while also fostering a greater understanding of the sense of community, dedication, and leadership skills that many children and young people experience through organized esports.
For the Norwegian Esports Federation (NESF), this event strikes at the heart of one of our most important goals: building bridges between generations, creating safe meeting places, and highlighting the positive aspects of organized gaming. The fact that this event is organized by the Grassroots Esports Alliance—with which NESF is set to merge—makes it even more interesting. It demonstrates how Norwegian esports stands stronger when we join forces and promote both the activity itself, public awareness, and a sense of community.
Live esports events are a great opportunity for parents, adults, and other interested individuals to experience the esports community up close, ask questions, and gain insight into an activity that means a lot to so many children and young people.
The event is completely free, but you must register in advance so the organizers can keep track of who is attending and send you information beforehand.
