ARENA is an Australian-first, youth-focused esports and digital learning hub.
The platform is designed to give children and teens the skills to navigate the online spaces they'll be introduced to in life, and turn games into skills, belonging, wellbeing and real pathways.
What ARENA is
Every Journey has its beginning.
ARENA is only in the early days, but we're excited to start sharing more information as time goes on.
Practical digital literacy, communication, and systems thinking; using age-appropriate games and media.
A place that feels safe and respected; designed for regional access, groups, and diverse needs.
Clear safeguards around gambling-like design, unhealthy stimulants, and harmful online behaviours.
There are projects designed around "Cybersecurity" and "Online Safety", but we believe in a non-fluff approach, we believe children and teens will take more away if we give them the full story up front, day one. We're not going to cartoonify things, we're going straight into the depths of what they need to know.
Additionally, we want to bring gaming into the fold of education, we believe pre-existing games will be able to deliver stronger comprehension of language, of math-based skills, and of co-ordination and teamwork where some may struggle with attention, high-level of physical activity, and a comfortable/safe area to be allowed to grow and develop amongst their peers.
