Análisis de la app Sibel's Journey para 14 de enero

Sibel's Journey is a game on gender, sexuality, bodies, and personal boundaries. It was developed in collaboration with educators and pedagogues. The game has been nominated for prestigious awards such as the Goldener Spatz, Gee Learning Games Award, and Tommi Awards in the education category and won the Gaming Without Borders Award in the Representation Category. Adopting an intersectional approach, the game provides young people with sound knowledge and a positive attitude about topics such as anatomy, body image, consent, communication, contraception, gender identity, and healthy relationships. The game follows 13-year-old Sibel, who meets interesting people during an exciting weekend in Berlin. She gets to know their different ways of living and loving, then finally discovers the secret of her best friend Sarah. Approaching the subject of sexuality and gender in early adolescence can be scary, overwhelming, and often shameful. As a countermeasure, Sibel’s Journey taps into the potential of mobile games as a proven method for self-learning. The players interactively explore the content without having to ask an adult. As players’ engagement with the game increases, their motivation and ability to remember the learning material improves. We recommend using a tablet instead of a smartphone for a better experience. The game is available in English, German, and Turkish language.
