Astralis Educational was granted membership in AOF Denmark at a board meeting on November 30th. This new partnership between Astralis and AOF represents a significant collaboration between two organizations sharing the same vision of teaching Danes to better navigate an increasingly digitalized world.

The primary ambition of the Educational Association AOF is to empower Danish individuals to navigate the evolving social landscape and foster a sense of community in Denmark through enlightenment and education.

These tasks are precisely the focus of the collaboration between Astralis and AOF.

As a leading esports organization with an established CounterStrike team at the world's top and owning a state-of-the-art gaming center and a digital broadcast channel, Astralis' activities deeply resonate with Danish youth and gaming culture.

Therefore, Astralis Educational's membership in the AOF Denmark board excites our special consultant at Astralis, Sofus Bynge:

"We have been good at digitalizing ourselves in Denmark but have been less engaged in being digital. With the rapid development of society and emerging new opportunities, I am extremely excited to apply our knowledge of digital cultures to contribute positively to the enlightening and educational work AOF is known for," states Sofus Bynge, who now has joined the main board of AOF Denmark.

New Digital Expert Council to Strengthen Digital Enlightenment and Competence Development

AOF and Astralis Educational have developed a digital expert council comprising representatives knowledgeable in gaming, digital education, data ethics, and digitalization.

The purpose is to develop citizens' digital competencies to understand and evaluate information from digital sources and to educate parents and professionals, contributing to understanding children's digital lives, gaming habits, online culture, and safety. This will be done in dialogue with schools, institutions, municipalities, and other organizations and companies in the public and private sectors.

The composition of the expert council will be announced in the first quarter of 2024.

The partnership with Astralis also pleases the management at AOF Denmark:

"Ensuring an enlightened and digitally competent society is more important now than ever. Astralis' membership in AOF Denmark will undoubtedly contribute to this. I look forward to a productive collaboration and am excited to share all our exciting initiatives in the pipeline," says John Meinert Jacobsen, CEO of AOF Denmark.
