Riseup Labs developed the Games for Rohingya Adolescents and Youth for BBC Media Action.
BBC Media Action is an international development charity of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). They use media and communications to promote human rights and reduce poverty in developing countries.
They work with local media, civil society, and other groups to develop multimedia projects that enlighten and engage audiences in important development issues while strengthening the media industry through capacity building.
Their work is focused on three major areas and is built on research insights and community engagement. They are governance and human rights, health and resilience.
Games for Rohingya Adolescents and Youth is the first game that was made for Rohingya teenagers. It's a series of 7 different games. These game objectives are Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) issues.
Adolescents. As soon as this word comes to mind, we see unkempt hair, an irritable mood, not wanting to talk to anyone, and even the conversation is not right. So no one likes them.
But why?
During this time, adolescents go through some stages. As a result, both their physical constitution and mentality change. But they do not understand that they are going through some change. And this is a normal thing.
Adolescents think that they have had a terrible illness. So they avoid the company of people. Does not share any issues with anyone. As a result, they become emotionally drained. The mood becomes irritable. Games for Rohingya Adolescents and Youth will help them overcome this hardship.
Teenagers will know unknown things through Games for Rohingya Adolescents and Youth. The game will refute common misconceptions about SRH issues like Girls' puberty, Boys' puberty, Wet dreams and male reproductive system, Female reproductive system and menstruation, STIs and HIV/AIDS, Child marriage and early pregnancy, and short-term family planning.
These games run on low-configuration computers, android phones and do not require an internet connection to play. The game's rules are very simple, with information-revealing quizzes. Here, quizzes dispel misconceptions about the physical and mental changes that adolescents make during their adolescence. In addition, it helps to make these changes easier and more natural for them.
These video games are developed for 14 to 19 year Rohingya adolescent girls and boys living in different camps in Cox's Bazar. They are playing as learning resources that address the following Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) issues:
Solim's Journey developed based on Boy's puberty. This is the story of a Rohingya adolescent Solim. He is experiencing physical and mental changes. It is part of growing, and this is a normal thing. But adolescents like him don't understand because of the first experience. Everything seems very unusual to them. They think they have a serious illness. So, they want to hide from people. They get scared, feel ashamed, and get irritable also.
So, the player must convince Solim that the matter is normal through different levels of this game.
Moreover, during adolescence, the body needs a variety of nutritious foods. Solim also got an idea about him here.
There is only one role throughout the whole game. It is Solim. The player has to help Solim. But there are also some supporting characters in the game. They are his friends Joshim, Nur and Kefayetullah.
The Games for Rohingya Adolescents and Youth scene is full of creative and attractive artwork. Game developers of Riseup Labs made it charming for teenage Rohingya boys. So that they can know about boys' puberty through an enjoyable game.
There is the main scene that you can see after opening the game. Where Solim appears with a treasure box. Then the scene changes to his introductory scene. Then screens start changing one after another on every level throughout the whole game. Solim will appear on each level.
There will be a text description for the player. The descriptions are different terms for puberty. Sometimes the prevailing superstitions about adolescence will be exposed. And that will be explained by logic. The correct information will be shared again through Solim's friends.
The biggest benefit is that Rohingya teenagers learn about boys' puberty playing the game. They feel shy about telling others about their changes. So they need to figure out what to do. The benefits of the games are:
