Welcome to our Mischthaufn. DUNG is an association that wants to support and fertilize the South Tyrolean gaming scene. This means: organizing events (helping), networking gamers, clans and communities, lobbying for gaming, organizing workshops on the topic of gaming... and always being open to new ideas and people <3
We are a small NGO from South Tyrol with the goal of having video games recognized as a cultural and artistic medium and ensuring that cultural contributors in this field receive public funding—just as established cultural forms like theater, music, film, and literature do.
Unfortunately, in our rather conservative region, common prejudices against video games still prevail. Due to a lack of financial support, this prevents us from realizing our numerous cool ideas for the local gaming community.
Therefore, we now want to launch an image campaign across all local media, bus stations, etc, featuring well-known personalities as well as successful individuals from the gaming industry as testimonials to highlight the cultural, artistic, and educational value of video games.
Association for the Promotion of the Community
Our vision is that the versatile potential of gaming is fully exploited in all areas of life. To achieve this, we want to establish and promote gaming in all its diversity as a cultural form in South Tyrol.
The DUNG VFG association was founded in Lana in November 2022. Around 30 founding members elected its first board: Denise Aksu, Sabine Innerhofer, Damian Psenner, Martina Nothegger, Hannes Waldner (chairman), Benjamin Condotta, Christian Kofler (vice-chairman) and Raffael Thaler.
We are your contact for questions about gaming in South Tyrol. With a strong network of voluntary organizations, communities and public institutions.
Gaming is a young cultural form that is developing rapidly and needs to be accompanied by education. We offer workshops, training courses, podcasts, discussion groups, awareness campaigns, etc.
Our goal is to establish and promote gaming in all its diversity as a cultural form in South Tyrol. The potential of gaming far outweighs the risks. We want to send this message to politics and society.
We advise and support you in organizing gaming events of any kind in South Tyrol (e-sports, LAN parties, game jams, board gaming, etc.) and offer you a platform to promote them.
