Animated learning

Much of the general public do not know about the wealth of Ezidi historical, cultural and creative contributions, a feature that has led to stereotypes, discrimination and worse. Working with Ezidi participants and PositiveNegatives, we will produce animated graphics for various outlets including an Education Pack.

The aim is to engage publics in minority religious cultures, the status of girls and women, displaced people and refugees, and genocide. It is also to provide opportunities to appreciate, understand and use or act on principles to do with human rights.

The Education Pack will include animations, audio-visual content, contextual and pedagogical guidance, a coordinator worksheet, supporting project outputs, and step-by-step reflection session guidance that can be adapted and translated for varying contexts.

Anyone who works with youth can use these materials to creatively and engagingly raise awareness about the Ezidi people, their religion and culture, their status as genocide survivors and displaced individuals, and the implications for refugee and human rights in a creative and engaging manner that can both educate and excite pupils.
