1. Reproductive health-oriented board games for adolescents
We received this from Manish Kumar:
I am currently pursing a fellowship under the Fund for Leadership Development, MacArthur Foundation titled 'A Communication Strategy for the Promotion of Adolescent Reproductive Health. In this fellowship, I am developing Magic and Board Games as a tool for communication. I have developed a kit which consists of 20 Magic Tricks and 7 Board Games. Following issues can be covered with the help of these games and magic tricks-
1. Adolescent Health and Nutrition
2. Male and Female Reproductive System and related myths and misconceptions.
3. Early Marriage and Pregnancy
4. Gender Issues.
5. Peer Pressure and Drug abuse.
6. Violence and Eve teasing
7. Risk Behavior and HIV/AIDS
Under the dissemination of the fellowship I have planned to train grassroot level workers to be able to use both the tools (magic and board games) in their educational activities.
If you are interested in getting this training program conducted for the young volunteers and field facilitators of your organization then kindly contact me at 09415110490 or . You can also visit our website at www.iiyi.org.
