About Seca em Jogo

Seca em Jogo is an educational and participatory tool designed to strengthen understanding of drought management and foster dialogue among diverse stakeholders.

Through an engaging and interactive approach, the game encourages participants to reflect on the challenges, strategies, and decision-making processes involved in proactive drought management, promoting the collaborative development of solutions.

More than simply providing information, Seca em Jogo engages participants in discussions on drought risks, vulnerabilities, and adaptation measures, contributing to stronger water security and territorial resilience.

🫱🏼‍🫲🏾 Seca em Jogo is a project developed in the State of Ceará under the Chief Scientist Program – Water Resources (FUNCAP). It is the result of a collaborative effort involving the Ceará Foundation for Meteorology and Water Resources (FUNCEME), the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), and the Ceará Water Resources Management Company (COGERH), with additional support from the Ceará State Secretariat for Water Resources (SRH) and the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD). The project has gained national recognition and was selected as a finalist for the 2023 ANA Award in the Higher Education and Research category.

By fostering public engagement and raising awareness of the actions that should be taken before, during, and after drought events, the project seeks to reduce conflicts and build consensus among different water users, particularly during periods of water scarcity.

Redesign

Seca em Jogo has undergone a comprehensive redesign based on feedback from educators, water managers, and participants in workshops held across different regions of the State of Ceará.

These improvements were made to make the game more accessible, inclusive, and responsive to local realities, strengthening its role as a tool for community engagement, collaborative learning, and participatory dialogue on drought management.
