Approximately one year ago, the Norwegian Chess Federation launched the "Chess & Society" project.
⠀
The goal of this initiative is to bring chess activities to a large number of areas in society.

The NCF identified 30 different areas or social groups where chess can be introduced and focuses on each for 6 months. To name a few, the list includes prisons, libraries, the military, science centers, hospitals, universities, and even oil drilling platforms in the North Sea.

Norwegian Chess Federation started a project to bring chess to prisons in February 2020, and 25 out of 40 prisons in Norway have enrolled so far. The Senior Citizens project was launched in September, and quite a lot of institutions are already on board. #chess #sjakk
