Citizenship education and prevention: moral dilemmas that shape citizens

Citizenship education and prevention work find a natural ally in Moiki EDU. The interactive format puts students in front of realistic situations where their choices have visible consequences. Bullying, poverty, discrimination: sensitive subjects become approachable through narrative role-play.

Students do not read an essay about bullying: they live the situation from the point of view of the victim, the witness or the perpetrator. That immersion fosters empathy and reflection far more than a lecture on the same subject.

Concrete examples

Léo et la Menace Virtuelle

This interactive story tackles cyberbullying through the character of Léo, a secondary school student facing threatening messages online. At each step, the reader has to decide how to react: ignore it, tell an adult, reply, block the sender. Every choice brings realistic consequences that help students understand how bullying works and the good practices for facing it.

With 80 views, this story shows that difficult subjects can be handled in a nuanced, pedagogical way. The interactive format avoids preaching: students discover the consequences of their choices for themselves.

Faire face aux facteurs de pauvreté

This interactive path puts students in the shoes of someone facing economic hardship. At each branch, they make life choices (housing, work, health, food) and see how those choices chain together and accumulate. The path brings out the systemic mechanisms of poverty, far from received ideas.

It is a powerful tool for developing social empathy and an understanding of inequality — central goals of citizenship education.

The power of consequences

What makes Moiki EDU particularly well suited to citizenship education is its system of consequences. Unlike a theoretical lesson, an interactive story shows concretely what happens when you make one choice or another:

The student who chooses to say nothing about bullying sees the situation get worse.
The student who chooses to speak up discovers the available support and a possible resolution.
The student who chooses to answer with violence sees the escalation.

No option is presented as "the right answer" up front. It is the experience of the path that builds the reflection.

Subjects concerned

Citizenship education: bullying, discrimination, digital citizenship, solidarity
Prevention: road safety, addiction, health, online risks
School life: welcoming new students, an interactive school charter, anti-bullying work
Economics and social sciences: social inequality, economic mechanisms, social justice

Practical advice

Plan a debriefing time. The interactive story is a starting point, not an end in itself. After the path, hold a group discussion: what choices did you make? Why? How did it feel? That debriefing is essential to anchor the learning.
Avoid black-and-white framing. Citizenship situations are rarely binary. Offer nuanced choices with realistic consequences. The aim is not to moralise but to make students think.
Involve students in the creation. Having students build a story about bullying themselves — for example as part of a writing contest — teaches even more than having them read one. Writing the scenarios forces them to research and think in depth.
Match the content to the age group. Prevention themes must be handled carefully depending on the level. Moiki EDU lets you create adapted versions of the same scenario for different age groups.

What teachers say

"After the path on bullying, a student came to talk to me about a situation he was going through. The interactive story had opened a door my lesson had not managed to open." Pastoral lead, secondary school
