As part of our ongoing programme in esports, we brought together some remarkable individuals last week to talk about how esports is moving into a mainstream, inclusive era, where the integration of physical activity and digital lives are becoming even more compelling through the integration of virtual realities. The event was part of the BBC Digital Cities week and we were delighted to have some first class contributors to the event, along with some amazing student support. Here’s a glimpse into what we did.
.@BBCAcademy Digital Cities Manchester returns THIS WEEK, and we are so proud to be part of it.
