Snacks, swaps and sustainability

This October was our very first Green Team event!

Held in the lounge of our Mitte office, our Second Hand Swap Party offered team members a chance to bring in their pre-loved items of clothing and home items, to see if they could find a new lease of life with a different team member. We also encouraged parents to bring in items that their children may no longer use or have grown out of, in order for other parents to benefit.

🌊 “WeMakeWaves”: Empowering Homeless Youth in Berlin 🏄

Together, we can make a difference! 🌊🤝

Our recent donation supports the impactful work of “WeMakeWaves”, a sports-based program for children and teenagers aged 10-16 who reside in homeless shelters in Berlin. With 80-90% of participants having a migrant background and refugee experiences, the project aims to create positive waves in their lives.

Donation Doubler, Make-a-Wish, and an intercultural playing card project

GameDuell believes that social responsibility begins with each of us. To live up to this claim and to lead by example, we donate to numerous charitable organizations and associations every year.

Donation to LegaKids

Part of the GameDuell mission is providing a fun, enjoyable experience to all, and as such, we consider charitable action to be part of our broader mission.

With that in mind, we are excited to contribute once more to the wonderful cause of LegaKids.

Launched in 2004, LegaKids is a free online project which offers a wide range of educational games, videos, and apps to help kids and teens with LRS (reading and spelling difficulties), dyslexia, reading weaknesses, and arithmetic difficulties, and at the same time offers up-to-date information and news for parents, teachers, and therapists.

Donation to Senioren Computer Club Mitte e.V.

We are happy to enable digital participation for elderly people and increase their competencies and enthusiasm for technology. That’s why we repeatedly support the Senioren Computer Club Berlin (SCC Berlin Mitte) with our donation. Our proceeds help to fund new equipment for the club.

Donation to wirmachenwelle e.V.

We are happy that after 2019, we are able to once more support wirmachenwelle e.V. with a donation!

wirmachenwelle (“We make waves”) e.V. brings young people from Germany's cities onto the surfboard and into nature.

Welcome to GameDuell! Great to have you with us!

Building a successful and efficient team includes a great onboarding, integration of new team members and connecting everyone within and across teams. We are delighted with each new team member, making GameDuell better with each addition! As a part of this process, GameDuell established a Newbie Event, to connect our new team members with each other and make them feel welcome and part of the family. So, what exactly do we do at these events? Of course we play and we eat, the best way to get to know each other!

LGBT*I*QA+ workshop recap: Revising the Code - Gender and Sexual Diversity in the context of Gaming

We strive for our culture at GameDuell to allow everyone to express who they are, which enables us to apply our talents, broaden our horizons, and ensure the acceptance and promotion of diversity.

Therefore, and in honor of this year's Pride Month in June, we decided to run a workshop to help us learn, grow, and offer a workplace culture that benefits everyone.
