There exists a big taboo about the disease, because nobody wants to talk about “going to the bathroom” or “excrements”. And didn’t you know: ladies don’t poop! Anyhow, young people with inflammable bowel disease (IBD) meet to work on projects concerning IBD. And one of the most important things: the participants do also have IBD.
One of the realised projects is called “The game”. A board game was created with the mascot “Loekie” on it. You have to roll a dice and than answer a question about IBD. If your answer is correct you can move forward, if not backwards. The intention of this game is to explain children IBD. The game can be found on the website www.efcca.org/eyg - and further information about the EYM too!
