I am 36-year-old long-time gamer and game educator. I work as a youth worker for the City of Espoo and I mainly work with organising and planning digital gaming. I have put special emphasis on organising targeted work through the game group. Using digital games as a tool is part of my work and I am involved in developing digital youth work for Espoo in the digital group within the youth services. I am also one of the founding members of the Pelikaverit ry association, which offers safe, trained volunteers as gaming buddies for young people.
