AJOC ESPORTS ACADEMY
What Are “Esports Academies”, and What Opportunities Could They Offer Young People?
Many young people hide from society, playing computer games and not moving forward with their lives. It could be they’ve lost confidence, or face daily anxiety issues. WUWO Media’s Enemy of Boredom Esports Academy helps young people become self-assured citizens by offering a qualification, creating a culture of teamwork and helping them find apprenticeships or work with the assistance of the esports industry.
Esports have huge potential to teach young people about crucial life skills such as team building, communication skills, strategic thinking and rapid decision making.

When interacting with virtual environments, students leave behind their passive role in the education process and can have fun while asking questions, socialising, and solving problems. These kind of online games make the students decision-makers and allow them to learn through trial and error, receiving immediate feedback for their actions.
Steve Godwin, the CEO at Enemy of Boredom describes it as:
“A place for young people to come and feel comfortable while learning together and learning from each other, using video gaming and esports to build futures. It’s a place where ideas are shared, and individuals can explore their passions with the support of trainers and industry professionals.”
