Animation Advocacy:  Animavocacy

Animation can be a particularly potent tool in development education, conveying vital messages about health and human rights all over the world.  It is a visually compelling medium that can reach all levels of society in a way that is both entertaining, carries a social message and can stimulate discussion and debate over serious issues, like child sexual abuse and exploitation.

 

Animation:  An Innovative Tool for Teaching Personal Safety

Children need education on personal safety.  Thus it is important to provide them with accurate information about their personal safety.  Animation is an innovative tool that can achieve this end.  Non-threatening and non-intimidating, animation transcends the limits of language and cultural specificity to generate dialogue with young people. They can see their own lives reflected in the stories, and begin to talk and think about their unique challenges head-on.

 

Our Role in Prevention Efforts
Due to the alarming number of children in South East Asia who have become victims of child sexual abuse and sexual exploitation, Stairway has been compelled to become actively involved in the growing local and international network fighting against child sexual abuse and exploitation. Currently, SFI trains hundreds of teachers, social workers, church people, organizations and parents in an attempt to promote personal safety programs in schools, churches and communities. The workshops are creative, interactive and uses animation as a mode of presentation.

Our award winning animated videos and supporting materials are a source of inspiration to all of those who want to listen to young people and help them.
