International WESCO program
Changing the People, Changing the World
The game is the means. The end is learning, citizenship and the student's future.
8themed axes, from workshops to the WESCO seal
40students at most per class, in rotation
2hours at most per class, to respect screen limits
12phases, from the school diagnosis to the final report
01
Educate through Esports, not only for Esports
Competition is one tool among several, not the goal. The commitment is to the school: the curriculum, the student staying in class and the skills the 21st-century job market asks for.
01
Gamification and reverse gamification
Gamification brings the logic of the game into the lesson. Reverse gamification goes the other way: it starts from the game and arrives at schoolwork, reasoning and ethics.
02
Digital sports practice
Guided practice of digital sports in several franchises, modes and platforms, suited to each age group, as a tool for development, inclusion, career and leisure.
03
Careers of the ecosystem
Students discover the jobs that make Esports exist, and the software, equipment and platforms behind each one.

Inside the classroom
The program lives in a room set up for it: game stations, a streaming corner, VR, robotics and subjects taught through games.

Education and Science
Multidisciplinary teaching through the Esports ecosystem and its subjects.
Innovation and Technology
Esports tools as solutions on several fronts.
Family and Inclusion
Including everyone, without distinction, through the Esports ecosystem.
Career and Integrity
Valuing the student and the athlete through their whole cycle.
04
The room inside the school
The Centre for Education, Innovation and Social Inclusion with Electronic Sport sits inside the school, in the timetable of the school system. Classes run in the morning and afternoon, in groups of up to 40 students in rotation, for two hours at most. Lessons can be taught by staff or by the system's own teachers, trained by the program in the areas where they show aptitude.
1
Game stations
Gaming PCs with monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset and chair; consoles with their own screens; phones for mobile gaming; footrests and bean bags.
2
Production and streaming
PC and broadcast cameras, microphones, chroma key screen, lighting spots and a central presentation monitor.
3
Network and power
Managed wired network at 10/100/1000, managed Wi-Fi on 2.4 and 5 GHz, a network server and uninterruptible power supplies.
4
Comfort and safety
Air conditioning sized by the room's thermal calculation, fire extinguishers as the fire service requires, a first-aid kit and themed decoration.
The method also uses the metaverse and gamification strategies there, with real-time interaction between the WESCO team, teachers and students, bringing the physical and the virtual space closer.
Build it, code it, play it
Robotics, programming and gamified mathematics sit next to the games themselves, so the students learn by making.
05
From the school diagnosed to the Centre running
A flexible method, adapted to each school system after a survey of the school's reality.
1
Situation survey
Student profile and interests, dropout and repetition rates, indicators such as the national school index, infrastructure, working conditions and how the school teams are organised.
2
Training, follow-up and evaluation
Continued training of managers and teachers, talks across the school year and multidisciplinary monitoring that guides teaching decisions.
3
Teaching coordination
Management, technical and teaching teams joined with the partner network, with administrative support for reporting under the law and the approved work plan.

06
Training and Inclusion Centres
Beyond the school: spaces for first contact, training and professional skills, open to the community, with approved equipment.
Access before talent
In Esports, the first selection does not happen in the match. It happens before it. To play football you need a ball. To practise Esports in a condition to compete you need a suitable machine, a stable connection, a place to train and someone to guide you. Each one is a barrier, and together they decide who reaches the sport before anyone looks at merit.
Barrier
A computer or console that runs competitive games is beyond many families.
Answer
Approved shared stations
Barrier
Without a stable network there is no serious training or fair online competition.
Answer
Managed wired and Wi-Fi network
Barrier
Playing alone does not make an athlete. Method, ethics, health care and someone who knows the way are missing.
Answer
Classes in Esports education and ethics
Barrier
Even good players rarely know how to reach a federation, a team or a recognised competition.
Answer
A bridge to teams, athletes and sanctioned competitions
Including is levelling the ground, not lowering the bar. A centre is not a smaller version of the sport for people with less. It is the same equipment, the same software and the same training standard, within reach of those who never had it.
Enter
The open door
Visits, demonstrations and first contact, open to the community, for people who never touched Esports.
Learn
Training
Guidance, ethics and professional training, so interest in the game turns into knowledge and a work perspective.
Advance
The real sport
For those who choose to compete, the centre is also a training base and a stage for events inside the federated system.
Who makes a centre happen
A centre is a partnership, not a building. The equipment and software are approved and standardised by WESCO, so an athlete who started in a centre on the edge of a city trains and competes in the same conditions as in any other centre.

Subjects come alive
History in front of the Colosseum, mathematics as a game and cities built on screen: the classroom borrows the language of games to teach the school subjects.
A separate education project
The Master in Global Esports Management is WESCO's own executive course, run with Euncet Business School of Barcelona. It does not belong to this program.
