Investigating if gamifying online sexuality education content increases young people’s engagement with sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information.

This project investigated if gamifying online sexuality education content increases young people’s engagement with sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information.  Three SRHR experts from the Love Matters Global Network (LMGN) co-created SRHR source content and then worked with in-house digital experts to use Riddle to design 6 games focusing on contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and more generally on sex and sexuality. The data was then analysed to determine to what extent gamifying SRHR content affects young people’s engagement, and whether there were notable regional differences. The first knowledge to be produced from this project was an infographic outlining gamification generally as well as the key results of the gamification of sexuality education (download below).

The second knowledge product was a webinar. In this webinar, the team involved in the gamification pilot shared the findings with other individuals and experts interested in (online) sexuality education. The intention of the webinar was to contribute to the growing knowledge base on how to effectively engage young people on SRHR online through user-led, learner-centred content. The recording of the webinar is available on YouTube:
