Breakaway Video Game for Boys

Breakaway is a free online video game co-produced by UNFPA launched during the World Cup in South Africa as part of the UN Secretary-General's UNITE Campaign to reach out to boys aged 8-11 with the aim of changing gender dynamics. The video can be a helpful resource for teaching purposes to introduce concepts of gender. More information about the campaign can be found here: http://breakawaygame.champlain.edu and here: http://www.unfpa.org/news/breaking-away-interactive-electronic-game-brings-gender-issues-play
