ESPORT funding in Berlin: First municipality supports Berlin ESPORTS Club
The Marzahn-Hellersdorf district government has been the first municipality in Germany to support and support the 1st Berlin Esports Club e.V. With its own club home and equipment, in cooperation with the housing company DeGewo, the district would like to recognize the eSport as a sport and integrate and promote young people and young adults socially. Despite the lack of official recognition of eSport as a sport, the district councilor for youth, family and health Gordon Lemm sees the commitment as an enormous contribution to youth promotion. The association not only offers social connection and educational offers, but also promotes young women and girls who are underrepresented in eSports.
The promotion of eSport by the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district is an important step towards recognizing this activity as a sport. In this press release it becomes clear that the association also fulfills a social and pedagogical mandate. Through cooperation with the housing company DeGewo, which provides the technical equipment, children, adolescents and young adults in the quarters offer an alternative way to operate eSports in an unknown environment.
The support of the 1st Berlin Esports Club e.V. is also a step towards more equality and social integration. The association takes care of the promotion of young women and girls in eSports and offers them a female figure of identification on the board. Important values such as team spirit, fairness and social appreciation are conveyed. In addition, the media literacy of children and adolescents should also be strengthened in order to ensure a secure handling of social media.
In addition to the promotion of the eSport, the cooperation of the association with local youth leisure facilities and the integration of young people in the district will also be emphasized. Through these cooperative measures, the association is intended to contribute to collecting and integrating young people socially. The commitment and support of the district, the housing company Degewo and the association signal a positive step towards recognition and promotion of eSport as a sport.
It remains to be seen how this development will find attention at the state and federal level in the future and whether other municipalities will follow this example. The promotion of the eSport on the part of the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district could serve as a model for future nationwide funding campaigns.
