Panwapa Island
Sesame Workshop's new interactive online program, PANWAPA, has finally
been launched worldwide!
Please go to: www.panwapa.com
"Panwapa is a floating island that travels the five oceans of the
world. In the Tshiluba language, spoken in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo, the word "Panwapa" means "here on this earth." So Panwapa
Island is here -- but also everywhere, and its inhabitants are simply
"of the earth" -- citizens of the global community."
The interactive online program content is filled with games,
activities, and videos which teaches kids to be good world citizens
who take responsibility for their own actions. Panwapa also teaches
geography, and exposes kids to world languages and cultural diversity.
I was the project's production designer. I had the pleasure of
creating the sets, illustrations, and graphic icons for the program
along with
my incredibly gifted creative team who helped build the world of
Panwapa (formerly known as World Wide Kids).
Okay it's a family involvement thing, but you know I figure my sibling's efforts are worth some plugging especially for the wee ones. It's very cool and I'm very proud of my sibling. |
