Just before the summer, I was in Monaco giving a talk about how esports can contribute to peace processes. The event brought together many world leading athletes who have broken records for many years and it was great to have a chance to talk about the potential of esports for social good.
This will be worked up into a longer paper, but I’m passionate about the idea that esports can be a pipeline for all kinds of valuable social functions, from building greater innovation, to developing infrastructure, creativity, and community. These elements draw on the idea that digital rights are becoming a more crucial part of our world.
