The British Esports Association has an education-focused partnership with the North America Scholastic Esports Federation (NASEF). On this page you’ll be able to find resources and info on the work of NASEF and our joint programs.

The two organisations have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together and share best practice around the benefits of esports for young people.

British Esports and NASEF are both focused on highlighting esports as a positive activity that allows students and others the chance to boost their character development, STEAM skills, leadership, teamwork, communication and other transferable skills.

Through the new partnership, British Esports and NASEF will design, develop and implement new programs, run joint esports tournaments and other events, as well as running exchange programs for coaches, esports managers, teachers and more, bringing the UK together with North America at the grassroots level.
