Youth-led Solutions for Health and Well-being Maullim Supported by: Generation Unlimited
  • Team Maullim is a group of young women who grew up in the Southern Border Provinces of Thailand. A place that has long faced ongoing unrest, they witnessed the consequences of violence and how such violence can trickle down to children in the form of bullying. Together they created the board game ‘DAWN’ – a creative twist on the classic snakes and ladders that teaches primary school children about the harms of bullying and the practice of empathy one move at a time. Through play, it educates children about peaceful problem solving and conflict resolution. Players take turns in moving their pieces up the board toward the finish line according to the number they roll on the dice. The game allows players to recognize what behavior constitutes as bullying and learn how to handle such situations, support peers, and reflect on one’s own behavior. The board game was modeled on real-life bullying situations so that children can apply the skills they picked up in the game to form positive and healthy relationships with their peers, families, and communities.
