Abstract:
Each of us is like a seed that needs nurturing, just as children receive warmth from their families and education from schools. Like a flower that grows and develops each day through watering and photosynthesis, they gain knowledge about sex education. This reflects sensitivity, care, and respect for their unique needs, helping them become aware and develop in a healthy manner.
Aiming to bring happiness and joy to 'special' children, this board game will make learning and playing more engaging and connected. This project is implemented to meet the goal of introducing a sex education game into schools for children with disabilities in Can Tho. We hope to bring sex education lessons into this special school and into families, allowing children to play while also learning important lessons through the games in the board game
Research Problem:
Currently, the issue of abuse among children is complex and has serious psychological consequences for them. With the development of the economy and society, there has been an increase in the number of abuse cases each year.
Not only are female children affected, but male children are also victims of abuse.
'Special' children have limited communication and social interaction, which greatly restricts their relationships and life skills. Consequently, both their psychological and social development are significantly hindered. As a result, the rate of sexual abuse among 'special' children is alarmingly high. Therefore, it is crucial for children to understand their right to privacy and to recognize when it is not acceptable for others to touch their bodies
Target Audience:
Focusing on 'special' cases such as hearing-impaired children, children with autism, and those with developmental delays, this project acknowledges that these children are at a higher risk of sexual abuse. They may not understand which behaviors are appropriate or inappropriate and how to react when faced with such situations
Solution:
Introduce the board game into education, supporting teachers and parents in guiding children to enhance their awareness of sexual education issues.
Collaborate with experts and link with professionals in the fields of sex education, psychology, or content creators focused on sexual education to ensure the scientific validity and appropriateness of the game.
Provide instructional materials, explanatory videos, and webinars to help adults understand and support the learning process of children through play.
branding:
Named 'Se Xẻ,' 'Se' stands for 'sex education,' while 'Xẻ' means to divide into smaller pieces, like puzzle pieces that can help children learn about sex education in a way that allows them to understand, respect others, and protect themselves in difficult situations. Thus, the name 'Se Xẻ' can be understood as the connection and sharing among teachers, families, and 'special' children in the journey of sex education. This reflects sensitivity, care, and respect for the unique needs of these children, helping them become aware and develop in a healthy manner.
Website:
A personal website will be created to introduce and provide guidance on playing the game, simulating situational images with motion effects to give children a unique and engaging learning experience. At the same time, the team will utilize social media to promote the game to schools for 'special' children, enhancing interaction between schools and families who wish for their children to understand sex education. This will help children learn about appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, ultimately enabling them to develop better and reduce the risk of abuse

CONCLUSION & TAKEAWAYS
The Value of Sex Education: I realized that sex education is important not only for children but also for families and teachers. The project helped me understand the significance of equipping children with knowledge so they can become aware and protect themselves.
Sensitivity and Empathy: Working with "special" children helped me develop sensitivity and empathy. I learned to listen and understand the unique needs of these children, which allowed me to design more appropriate educational activities.
The Necessity of Collaboration: I understood that collaborating with experts in sex education and psychology is crucial. This collaboration not only helped me build the project's content scientifically but also ensured the effectiveness of conveying information.
Creativity in Education: The project encouraged me to think creatively to develop unique educational methods, such as using board games and interactive websites. This made me realize that education can take many forms, and learning can be more enjoyable and engaging.
The Importance of Communication: I recognized that utilizing social media and online platforms to promote and engage with the community is vital. This not only raises awareness about the project but also creates opportunities for families and schools to connect and share experiences.
Improving Organizational and Leadership Skills: Through managing the project, I improved my organizational and leadership skills. I learned how to plan, delegate tasks, and work effectively in a team to achieve common goals.
