The Game Changer, which started in September 2023 is rooted in an international collaboration between partners in three countries Sweden, Finland and Iceland. Project partners include the E-sports Federation of Iceland, the Swedish gaming organisation SVEROK, the award-winning Finnish initiative Sua Varten Somessa (For You on Social Media) and the Violence Prevention School of Iceland.
The overall aim of the project is to strengthen young people’s digital rights and cyber citizenship, by actively countering digital violence. The project will also seek to create young people’s “online utopia” by gathering information about the changes to digital environments that young people deem necessary for them to reach their highest potential – and help them craft it, using methods of gaming, community-building and social entrepreneurship.
This project is funded by the Erasmus+ program.
