Youth for Love: A serious game against discrimination, bullying, and gender-based violence.

Education plays a key role in countering the negative social norms that drive gender-based violence among adolescents, who have weaker protection mechanisms and are particularly vulnerable to violent behavior.

Youth for Love The Game is structured as a text adventure featuring around twenty playable characters and 30 branching stories. This virtual role-playing game is a training ground where girls and boys, through interactions and the branching choices they make, can experience real, everyday situations at school, in the park, in group chats, and at home, which can potentially lead to episodes of gender-based violence and bullying. The player directs the story by choosing and experiencing the consequences of their choices.

Youth for Love, created as part of a European REC Project, was selected by IIDEA Associazione for its GAME TO HUMAN program. Story after story, choice after choice, the player will be able to see the levels of soft skills they have acquired: from recognizing the dynamics and phenomena of peer violence, to learning how to manage situations, to knowing how to react to situations by applying the skills they have acquired.
