Engaging Youth with Collaborative Learning on Water Sanitation & COVID-19 Prevention through a Serious Game: The Water Champion Board Game
Project leader: Mrs. Annisa Arsyad
Level of education and university: Non Degree, Australia-ASEAN Council
Collaborating Organisations: Monash Sustainable Development Institute
Project Location: Jawa Barat
Activity Type: Community development activities
Sector: Activity Type
Project Rationale:
Gen-Z students are a very different breed to previous generations. They are no longer content to be passive learners. They prefer to be hands on and involved, particularly through group discussions and interactive environments. In Indonesia, low awareness and unwillingness to adopt basic hygiene and safety measures during the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the risk of infections, particularly within marginalised communities.
Younger generations are particularly vulnerable to the societal impacts of COVID-19. Children in marginalised communities are missing out on their education, with Global Citizen reporting half of the students forced out of school because of COVID-19 cannot access online learning. Safety and sanitation awareness is also not included in the formal curriculum. Education therefore needs to change so children can learn and adopt new behaviours during this crisis.
Our project provides a different educational experience through gamification. To drive behaviour change, we believe that learning should be fun and engaging, and this project will use games to build awareness of ways to reduce COVID-19 risks and adopt good hygiene habits. This project takes on this challenge by bringing together researchers from Australia and Indonesia with a social entrepreneur to create an engaging environment that reflects this learning style.
Project Beneficiaries:
100 children 12-16 years old and 20 volunteers who will act as facilitators during the game campaign
Priority Development Area:
Human development for a productive and healthy society
