Candid Conversations with the Gaming Community
Candid Conversations with the Gaming Community
Interviews and surveys are carried out with youth gamers, friends of gamers, parents and teachers to understand their views and perspective on toxicity and its repercussions.
Members of the gaming community will then be invited onto the talk show to advice and discuss the various real scenarios and queries from the community.
Youths would be able to hear from the gaming community themselves on their personal experiences gaming and their encounters with toxicity, and understand strategies that can be adopted to combat such experiences.
