Games can help you calm your thoughts and relieve stress. But that’s not all they’re useful for. They can also be educational and interactive. As you play, you could learn a lesson or two that could be helpful in real life such as how to stay safe online. If you’re up for some educative fun, then the digital safetea game would be a great place to start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were to contact someone today, many individuals would prefer to be contacted via text message rather than a phone call. Because of the expanding number of social media users, there is a greater possibility of finding those who make the online space uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These people can be stalkers, harassers or anyone that puts you in a position that makes you feel unsafe online. Often, people are not aware of how to help themselves in the occurrence of such situations as some deem things like social media breaks as solutions. However, this is only temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A place to find more permanent solutions for different situations has been developed in a bid to teach people especially women how they can keep themselves safe. Pollicy<\/a> teamed up with Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Uganda<\/a> and Paradigm initiative to develop an interactive game that fosters digital safety for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read also: Neema Iyer appointed as Facebook\u2019s Global Women\u2019s Safety Expert Advisor<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This fun project provides digital literacy to women in a creative and fun approach. There is little access to information on how women can keep themselves safe online. Even the current efforts like blocking and muting are not as effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The digital safetea game is an interactive fiction game that is based on the stories of three young women from across Africa. To join them on this quest, visit http:\/\/digitalsafetea.com<\/a> to play and learn more about them. The game presents scenarios to learn about existing and emerging digital safety issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the start of the game, you choose the language of your preference, then proceed to choose a character of your choice among the three women. You then go ahead to live through some real-life scenarios of the women\u2019s lives online and the situations in which they can be harassed online.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to play the digital safetea game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
