The game studio donated €10,000 to the European Intercultural Club.
Press release.- BGaming supported a biodiversity education program in Lisbon, Portugal, with the goal of developing children's artistic skills and promoting community cohesion.
The creative game studio donated €10,000 this summer to the European Intercultural Club, a nonprofit organization that supports education, training, and employability of young people. BGaming's generous donation has now been used for repairs of the club's facilities and organizational needs, and another part funds a project to support children's skill development.
The new program 'Urban Nature Project – A Macro Story' will help students integrate with the urban environment surrounding them in a practical and multidisciplinary manner. The youth will combine elements of nature with cinema and audiovisual techniques, under the guidance of film artist Gonçalo Almeida.
After conducting observational walks through nature, the students of the Urban Nature Project will join Almeida to learn fundamental film techniques, including narrative techniques, filming, and editing, with the goal of promoting environmental awareness, developing creative skills, and strengthening the bonds between school, community, and the outdoors.
Gonçalo Almeida was born in Portugal and began his career as a film director, growing to become one of the most important names in fantasy cinema. He has directed and produced several critically acclaimed works, including "Faz-Me Companhia", "The Girl from Saturn", and "The Advent".

Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO of BGaming, said: “Creativity is a proven way to support the development of young children and we are pleased to donate to valuable causes that advocate for it. Just as BGaming is dedicated to producing the most creative games on the market, we are committed to building strong communities through art”.
She added: “The children of the European Intercultural Club will surely benefit from their time participating in this semester-long project and we are eager to see the results”.
