The Gaming Hub zw is a space for the building/connecting a community of gamers and non-gamers joined by a common cause – mental wellness through gaming. It is a pilot project which seeks to rebuild the concept of space through the combination of video gaming on gaming consoles and Virtual Reality in the form of a (locally designed and constructed) combat flight simulator. You can support the project by following @gaminghubzw on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, visiting the Gaming Hub zw booth at Shoko Festival (27 September – 1 October 2022) and at the Zimbabwe German Society/ Goethe Zentrum Harare (after Shoko Festival).
