Jeux
91% of children aged 3-15 play video games. For many, it’s a positive experience – fostering creativity, problem-solving, and social connection. But there’s a growing challenge: increasingly, games incorporate gambling-like features.
At Ygam, we want to ensure that our support, learning and development doesn’t stop when your workshop ends. The Ygam Alumni Network is a growing community designed to keep our delegates connected, supported, and empowered long after completing their initial training.
The Alumni Network is open to anyone who has completed a Ygam training programme, whether that be for education, health and social care, community and faith, or gaming and esports. Once you’ve completed the training, you’ll receive an invitation to join the network via email.
