TEDxZurich - Karin Stierlin - Play to break taboos

Описание: A lot of global problems are being tabooed. Prejudice and incapacity are the bad consequences. How should young people get sensitized if there is a lack of interactive teaching aids? The internet as isolated information source doesn`t replace reflexion and exchange of a discussion forum. Karin Stierlin's game „Loveland" is a taboo breaker of the global HIV/ Aids problem which is played in groups and enables sensibilisation and comprehension in an intercultural and direct exchange.

Karin Stierlin, Sexual Health Teacher
Related to her education as a sexual health teacher and her current work as a lecturer at the Pädagogische Hochschule Zürich, Karin Stierlin is regularly confronted with taboo topics. For her, discussing this topic is an essential part in the educational context. Surprised by the lack of available educational tools, she started developing them by herself. "Loveland -- HIV /Aids prevention in a playful manner" is the first in a row of taboo breaker tools she created.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
