S16 Ep126 JFI Radio on location in Norway - Gaming Communities Pt1
Gaming Communities pt 1. Recorded in Sarpsborg, Norway, this JFI Radio episode takes you inside KRED Norway with Managing Director Ole Martin Gjestad. What began as the country’s first municipal gaming centre in 2018 has grown into a blueprint for inclusion – using games, esports and hybrid events to connect youth, seniors and everyone in between. From building the town 1:1 in Minecraft, to scaling Smash Bros into international tournaments, to an 84-year-old in VR workshops, KRED’s “arena model” turns play into progression, community and even careers. The standout story of “Peter” – from isolated gamer to national advocate – shows why gaming changes lives when done right. Enjoyed this episode?
