European Grassroots Esports

To help guide sports clubs in establishing healthy, value-based esports activities in their clubs, this project will map stakeholders, best practices and potential models that can get them started. As the project also aims at enhancing awareness of the individual and social benefits of responsible, value-based esports, the project partners will produce 10 opinion pieces and a curated conversation to initiate exchange and open debate on the key benefits and challenges of grassroots esports.

The six project partners aim to build local clubs’ capacities to deliver grassroots esports activities through an online learning course and three national pilot actions that will develop grassroots esports clubs on the basis of the project’s findings. The partners will also deliver four national seminars on value-based grassroots esports as well as an international dissemination conference together with ISCA.
