The Specialist Center for Youth Media Culture NRW (Fachstelle für Jugendmedienkultur NRW, fjmk) has added two experts for inclusive gaming to their team. Melanie Eilert and Dennis Winkens are now on board as Project Staff Inclusive Gaming. Both had already been working with the Centre as part of the fjmk’s project and award show Gaming ohne Grenzen before.

“I have been working with the fjmk as a volunteer ambassador for the Gaming ohne Grenzen initiative since 2020. I am very pleased to now be working on the new project for accessible gaming as part of a part-time job and thus not only to intensify our cooperation, but in particular our efforts for more accessibility and inclusion in gaming”, says Eilert.

“Working as an ambassador for Gaming ohne Grenzen was fun in itself. Now I'm all the more pleased to be able to play an even more active role in promoting inclusion in gaming”, adds Winkens.
