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.
