Developed by PlayGen http://playgen.com in close collaboration with subject matter experts. Choices and Voices is an interactive simulation that encourages young people to explore and discuss the underlying issues and adverse influences, which can lead to divisions and tensions in communities.
In two separate scenarios the player faces a number of moral dilemmas in which their decisions will define not only their own outcomes but those of their friends and family also.
Issues explored within the game include:
* Peer pressure and being seduced by adventure, commaraderie and secrecy;
* Social exclusion, isolation and the effects of not fitting in;
* Bullying, humiliation and exposure to violence;
* Feelings of underacheievemnt and the need for purpose and respect;
* Challenging policy through concerted action;
* Urban myths and misunderstandings.
Choices and Voices supports the National Curriculum, DCSF's Preventing Violent Extremism toolkit and covers specific areas within the citizenship, PSHE and SEAL curriculum.
