Welcome to the platform of the German Government and Federal States Programme (Bund-Länder-Programm, BLP) and to our serious game "Gender - Next Level"!
To focus on gender equality in a new and innovative way, we developed a serious game: "Gender - Next Level". In this game, the player learns about the importance of gender and other diversity dimensions for the management of projects in development cooperation.
The game lasts approx. 60 minutes. You can pause the game at any time and, depending on your browser settings, resume it at the previous point when you return to this page.
You can play the game by clicking on ‘Start’. You will then be asked to enter how you would like to be addressed in the game (name). All areas highlighted in red are intended for interaction; the story of the game begins when you are addressed by ‘your colleague’ Tom after the initial information on feminist development cooperation and you then click on ‘Next’ highlighted in red.
The game was developed in close collaboration with GIZ colleagues working on gender, with consultants and colleagues in different country offices. The technical development and implementation were carried out by imc multimedia, a company that specialises in the development of e-learning and serious games. We are very grateful to everyone who contributed to the development of the game and the many valuable inputs. We hope that you will enjoy playing this game, learn something new and gain new insights!
We would be very pleased if you gave us feedback regarding your experience with the game using this form, the evaluation is completely anonymous: English Feedback Gender Serious Game | Bund-Länder-Programm (bund-laender-programm.de)
