mothernaturenetwork: Kristof is experimenting with using social media entertainment to educate and inspire a new generation. ‘It will be vaguely analogous to FarmVille. You’ll have a village, and in order to nurture this village, you’ll have to look after the women and girls in the village. Actions in the game will also have real-world effects. In other words, there will be schools and refugee camps that will benefit if you do well in the game.’
