New digital interactive experience encourages users to think about a gender equal world
LEEDS 2023, WOW – Women of the World, Four and The Space have come together to produce a digital interactive experience that asks users to respond to the question ‘What would a world designed by women and girls look like?’
Exploring gender equality issues
Digital studio Four have worked with a group of Year 8 students aged 12-13 from Trinity Academy, Leeds on the project, entitled One Way or Another which aims to encourage young people to explore gender equality issues.
In the experience, users are presented with a number of scenarios and asked to answer questions relating to topics including personal safety, attitudes, environment and health.
As users progress through the web-based experience answering questions, statistics from YouGov and information from Ofsted surveys are revealed, alongside information about initiatives such as The Everyday Sexism project. The questions and responses are intended to provoke conversations about gender issues and highlight the ways in which society is changing.
Celebrations at the WOW Barn
One Way or Another premieres as part of the LEEDS 2023 Year of Culture celebrations in The WOW Barn.
The experience is also available online, enabling young people and educators from across the world to explore the issues in an interactive and playable way.
WOW will continue to use the Digital Interactive Experience in the autumn as part of their International Day of the Girl celebrations, around 11 October 2023.
