Crunchfish participates in Business meets chess & kids
As part of its CSR work, Crunchfish will participate in the digital chess tournament Business meets chess & kids. Business meets chess & kids is a project founded to counter segregation and promote integration, by creating meeting between people from different backgrounds, from different generations, from different neighborhoods, from different genders and from different economic conditions who normally don’t meet each other and giving them chances to getting to know each other over the chess board.
Business meets chess & kids is an event-based movement for integration and against segregation. It brings together people who seldom meet, if ever, and lets them interact with each other on equal terms over a game of chess. It is a chess tournament played in pairs where a representative from the business is paired with youth from the suburbs to play together versus others. As a fun pre-event, Sweden’s number one grand master Nils Grandelius will play simultaneous chess against business representatives. Crunchfish will be represented by Paul Cronholm, founder and CTO in the main tournament and UX-designer Thomas Rogowiec will take on the Swedish chess master.
“Chess has always been popular here at Crunchfish, many of us play each other as soon as time allows. At the same time, we also want to get involved and give back to society, and it is perfect to be able to combine it with something that many of us have a great interest in. Chess is also a game that requires a high level of analytical ability and strategic thinking, qualities that are also needed in our daily work here at Crunchfish. Therefore, we hope that we can awaken the interest of the participating young people in the tournament for Crunchfish as a potential future employer”, says Paul Cronholm, founder and CTO of Crunchfish.
Business meets chess & kids takes place on April 23 at 1:00 PM CET, and will be broadcast live via http://naringslivetmoterfororten.se/
