EVIL GENIUSES PARTNERS WITH GAMES FOR CHANGE TO PROMOTE DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

North American esports organisation Evil Geniuses has teamed up with non-profit organisation Games for Change (G4C). 

The partnership will see Evil Geniuses work with Games for Change to help create opportunities for the next generation of esports talent while promoting diversity and inclusion. 

A highlight of the collaboration will see Evil Geniuses Chief Culture Officer, Jessica Hammond, take part in a diversity and inclusion workshop on 7 July, as part of the 2021 Games for Change Festival Workshop Week. 

Throughout the partnership, EG and Games for Change will work together to plan additional programs to give students and community members the opportunity to learn more about the esports industry and network with EG team members.

Anthony Scala, Collegiate Lead at Evil Geniuses, commented: “We are proud to be a strong voice for inclusivity and partnered with Games for Change who share this same passion. The festival is the perfect starting point for what will be a long-lasting relationship between our organisations.”

Since 2004, Games for Change has been running projects, including education programs and festivals, aimed at empowering gamers and content creators to drive social impact.
