On September 11, Eko Nugroho and Ludenara team collaborate with Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (BAZNAS) held a gameschooling session with support from Jabar Bergerak team. Gameschooling is a program from Ludenara where game is used to teach students a certain topic. For this gameschooling session, BAZNAS’s latest board game about disaster mitigation called SIAGA (Siap Tanggap Bencana) was played by students from SMA 8 Bandung.

35 students joined and grouped into 3 big teams. The big teams then divided into smaller groups that will guard different locations. As a team, they need to make sure to follow disaster response center’s order to prepare citizens before a disaster happens. They can teach and train citizens about disaster and start collecting help and supply for post-disaster. They also need to respond quickly when a disaster happens to minimize the number of victims.

This gameschooling session marks the first public playtest of SIAGA boardgame. After several playtest and evaluation, SIAGA boardgame will be use in schools in affected area, such as Lombok and Palu.
