I am Karin Stierlin, the founder of the Taboobreaker Association and initiator of Love Land.
I started my professional career as a teacher and learning therapist. Even then, I used the potential of playful learning and realistic learning environments to motivate young people to learn.
After graduating with a degree in Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), I became frustrated with the lack of innovative and evidence-based teaching materials, that addressed the sensitive and taboo SRH topics in an age-appropriate and play-based manner.
That was the birth of Love Land, the board game that is being used successfully in European schools. A pilot project with the Love Land board game in Indonesia and South Africa showed me that Love Land could also be used in countries with other cultural and religious backgrounds.
I then founded the Taboobreaker Association with the aim of working with highly qualified teams of experts to develop SRH education programs that can be used worldwide, incorporating the potential of digital health education and thus using digital channels, such as apps to reach young people on a large scale.
Me in three words: Passionate – Creative – Persistent
