JSIF Making Moves with Chess in Schools

It was an exhilarating and rewarding experience to engage with 39 students from the community of August Town, St Andrew who recently concluded their sports summer camp. The camp targeted students aged 11-17 and featured an exciting chess component with a competition and awards ceremony at its pinnacle. Since its commencement in 2024, the JSIF Chess in School Programme, has engaged just over 110 students from the community of August Town in activities including summer camps and clinics, schools sensitizations sessions and registration of students with FIDE – The International Chess Federation.
