Serious Game for Gender Equity

Biny W. Adenew, artist and a team member of Mela project is doing amazing videos regarding graphic design (speed painting, digital portraits and more) on his channel. Biny made amazing illustrations for Mela, a serious game to combat gender-based violence in Ethiopian agriculture colleges (www.melagame.com). It was an honour working with you bro! Check out one of Biny's most recent videos below:

In this short video, Hani Sadati is talking about a game concept and its relation to our current situation.

This Briefing Paper (a case study of Mela game), talks about how Serious Games can be self-educting tools and how they can help with the sustainability of educational and social change programs. Many thanks to Prof. Claudia Mitchell, for all invaluable comments and edits, and Fatima Khan for the beautiful design of the paper. Published in Participatory Cultures Lab, McGill University. ... This Briefing Paper is 12 pages. We are waiting for Dagmawi Bedilu to put it on www.melagame.com so that we can reference to it.
