One-Of-A-Kind, Cost-Free, TV Series Supporting Refugees
Project Status
In partnership with Think Equal, Education Above All, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and Children and War Foundation developed a unique three-part series for all age groups to broadcast on television or online platforms, addressing unique emotional and learning needs.
The series ensures that children have tools to navigate their unique and challenging circumstances, while also gaining academic and socio-emotional skills at scale, thereby addressing gaps that the lack of resources amidst the crisis in Ukraine poses. The TV Series leverages mass media to reach children in need, regardless of where they are, with bespoke, relatable, and engaging content.
The three-part series consisted of:
Series 1: Rebuilding Ukraine
Working with adolescents and adults to talk about PTSD and mediate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and support through Ukrainian Psychiatrists.
Series 2: The Kindness Garden
Think Equal’s trauma-informed SEL modules are delivered through live-action animation. Each episode focuses on specific, thoroughly researched social and emotional learning outcomes for 3 to 6-year-olds.
Series 3: Living Together, Learning Together
This series was created using EAA’s Ukraine Education Response Packages, which were converted to into live action. Using project- and play-based learning pedagogies, the series helps Ukrainian children (8-14 years of age) cope with the urgent and critical challenges they face away from home in unfamiliar host countries. The series aims to build better communities by facilitating intercultural understanding.
Each of the 10 episodes is centered around a specific theme, including exploring their identity, using tools for self-expression, building leadership skills, developing empathy, coping with emotional challenges, and more. Children watch engaging and age-appropriate 20-minute episodes where show hosts guide them through fun projects to do at home and discuss important and relatable topics. The series also highlights QR Codes which direct viewers to learning resources with more detailed instructions.
