Gaming clubs and camps
The goal is to develop a local player path that will produce future e-athletes for the world.
Why play?
Gaming evokes a variety of emotions and people often disagree about it – and rightly so! When gaming is done safely, in a controlled manner and with a good feeling, it can be a great way to learn new things and develop. Playing together brings people together, develops interaction skills and encourages them to try new things. The challenges and tasks of games support concentration and problem-solving – and at their best, bring the joy of success to everyday life.

Parents
No worries parents! Gaming clubs and camps are designed to be safe and supervised environments, where gaming takes place under clear rules and professional guidance. It is important to us that every participant has fun, learns and feels good. Gaming is not just about staring at a screen – it develops interaction skills, problem solving and cooperation. So parents don’t need to worry – we make sure that gaming is a positive and developing hobby.
Instructions for EXEN club members:
- Respect others.
- Praise and encourage others: Each of us is allowed to come to the club exactly as we are.
- Help your friends & be ready to learn new things. We welcome club members of all levels – whether you are already more skilled or just getting to know the world of games.
- Give space for discussion: Other club members are listened to & opinions are respected.
- Apologize if you have intentionally or unintentionally caused a friend to feel bad.
- Let’s maintain a positive atmosphere! Each of us contributes to this with our actions.
What to do if you encounter inappropriate behavior:
- Intervene in the situation.
- Tell a trusted adult about the situation: This could be, for example, a present instructor or your own parent.
- Situations can also be discussed together with the club instructor, feel free to ask for help!
