Digital literacy & citizenship through gaming
For primary and secondary schools. Media literacy, computational thinking and digital citizenship, mapped to the Dutch national curriculum goals (SLO).
WHAT WE DO
From playful attention
From playful attention
to measurable results.
We use gaming, esports and gamification to reach young people. Well-planned programmes with a clear start and finish, for business, education and government.
IN SHORT
GLHF offers five ready-made services built on gaming, esports and gamification: lesson packs on digital literacy and citizenship for schools, an esports talent and career programme of 8 to 12 weeks, municipal gaming hubs with youth participation, serious games that shift behaviour and awareness, and employer branding with team building through esports for companies. Each service has a fixed structure with a timeline, deliverables and evaluation. The approach comes from practice: founder Geoffrey van der Vet helped launch Virtuocity in Doha, the first dedicated gaming hub in the Middle East, with room for 250 gamers. The market is ready for it. The Dutch games industry earned €763 million in revenue in 2023, after average growth of 10.5% a year since 2021 (Games Monitor 2024), and 47 percent of Dutch people game with friends or family (Mulier Institute, 2024).
