Promote ACTions to FOsteR healthy LOVing rElationships among teenagers
The general aim of the project is to tackle Teen Dating Violence (TDV) through the design and the piloting of a gamified education program on healthy loving relationships to raise awareness and prevent TDV among 14-18 teenagers.
ACT 4 LOVE develops:
- a capacity building program for teachers and educators on Teen dating violence, including a toolbox of tools that aim to improve social and emotional competence;
- a gamified education program for youth with a focus on healthy relationship skills, including peer education modules.
ACT 4 LOVE programs innovation rely on the use of AI and gamified approaches to encourage learning. Gamified simulations and learning scenarios will be part of the gamified education program for youth, offering players the chance to simulate real-life situations, to make informed decisions and navigate ethical dilemmas. Teenagers are active protagonists of the training: they help to design gamified scenarios, providing inputs from personal stories on TDV and they are provided with specific resources to become peer mentors. Finally, ACT 4 LOVE resources are uploaded in an e-Platform that will serve as a hub to help students and teachers to access information related to TDV prevention and support.
P.M.F. is the project coordinator. Furthermore, P.M.F. is responsible for the technical development of the gamified simulations and learning scenarios for youth. Finally, P.M.F. contributes to the dissemination of the project’s results and outputs throughout Europe.
