Overview

We forged a partnership with Riot Games on the shared objective of creating inclusive and supportive game communities. Our collaboration focused on developing an educational esports program built around the League of Legends game that instilled important life skills such as sportsmanship, teamwork, resilience, and digital communication.

The educational program developed through our partnership cultivated a positive and supportive environment while providing valuable resources and guidance to players, teams, and the wider gaming community.

Shared Mission

By grounding the program in the values of sportsmanship and digital communication skills, we equipped individuals with the necessary tools and skills to influence a culture of inclusivity, where individuals were encouraged to demonstrate respect and empathy toward one another.
