TODAY.AFK – RESPONSIBLE GAMING
Who are we?
Today.AFK is a non-profit created with a goal of promoting and popularizing gaming and esports in the City of Osijek through educating about responsible gaming.
The term ''responsible gaming'' points to the importance of all the aspects of gaming. Gaming is a form of entertaniment, but also helps with skill development, socializing, advancing communication skills through interacting with other gamers and creating meaningful relationships. Online safety is also one of the important things we'd like to educate all gamers about, especially pre-teens.
Through various activities we'd like to bring gaming and esport closer to our community and place Osijek among the well-known cities related to gaming.
In order to achieve that, it's important to connect and strengthen the currently dispersed gaming and esports scene as well as make gaming and esports more familiar with the locals. Because of the emphasis on responsible gaming, our activities will be interesting to non-gamers as well. Our primary focus are parents and persons in direct contact with children. Our goal is to present gaming as an activity that has a positive influence on cognitive abilities and socialization.
