READY FOR A GAME HOUSE IN NORWAY

A first major milestone in realizing a GAME House in Arendal is in place as the Arendal City Council decided to support GAME Norway's plans to establish a GAME House at a former Fire Department site. Arendal has only a few spots like this from Barbu Park (picture) and is lacking a place for youth-led street sports and culture where the volunteer Playmakers, the youth and the children of Arendal can create positive communities.

GAME Norway

GAME Norway started activities in 2020 in partnership with the local youth organization, Urban Ung. In 2022 GAME Norway was running the Playmaker Program with 18 local youth street sports instructors and role models leading activities for local children in four GAME Zones. GAME Norway, in partnership with The Municipality of Arendal and a range of private foundations, is working on establishing a GAME House in Arendal on Norway’s southern coastline.

GAME Norway is supported by Gjensidigestiftelsen, IMDI and DAM Stiftelsen.
