Mela is a Serious Game.
Mela is a serious game, that has been attached to the Agricultural Transformation Through Stronger Vocational Education (ATTSVE) Project. Mela is an Amharic term, which means “Find a Solution” and is designed to be a self-educating tool for ATVET instructors to address Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV).
The aim is to create the real-life situations for instructors and transfer the knowledge of some strategies that they can use in their classes or on campus to contribute to decreasing the SGBV incidents or increasing the gender equality. Mela is a tool to support ATVET instructors to develop their capacity in addressing SGBV in their colleges and creating a safe learning environment for their students in general, and female students particularly.
In brief, this is a game to teach some of the practical strategies in combating campus-based SGBV to instructors.
