NETWORKING WITH US

The scholarship includes plenty of events for the students to virtually meet professional developers within the game industry. There are many different ways to create and develop games, and these networking opportunities are a chance not only for students to put questions directly to the people they meet, but also an opportunity for them to express who they are and exchange ideas with like-minded people.

ABOUT DIVERSI

Diversi is a collective force working for greater diversity within the gaming sphere. By enabling people from game companies, educational institutions and gaming communities to encourage and support each other’s diversity efforts, we strive to promote an inclusive culture where everyone can feel welcome.

By diversity we generally refer to ethnicity, gender, sexuality, body, physical or cognitive function and age diversity.

We believe that it’s important to work with diversity both in a quantitative and qualitative sense. On this project we feel both happy and reassured to be co-operating with King, a company which we know makes an effort to do both.
