Bachelor Assignment

This assignment focused on ways and the need to improve menstrual literacy through an educational toolkit. During this, a boardgame was designed that explains the menstrual cycle and its effects in a clear and approachable way. Through playing, participants learn about the workings of the cycle, with an emphasis on the four phases. Including topics of Menstrual Health. The game is supported by an explanatory booklet on different topics of the cycle covered in the game.

The game was evaluated through co-design with young participants, and further improved based on their feedback. Testing showed that the game was enjoyable, easy to follow, and helped start open conversations. The final result is that this board game is a starting point for a toolkit that can be used in educational settings to support learning, opening the conversation, and improving menstrual literacy.
