Animated children´s pilot program on climate change, it´s causes and consequences.

Abstract

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the spokesperson for the environment within the United Nations system. Its work encompasses assessing environmental conditions and trends at the global, regional and national levels. This information must be spread to all levels. This involves for UNEP the challenge of being able to come up with an understandable communication on the subject even at the level of children in their first years of school. Therefore, this study focuses on the creation of audiovisual material for children between 7 and 10 years, with the purpose of spreading an environmental culture in the classroom. The project proposes the production of an animated 2D program for digital platforms and physical devices that mainly focuses on the popularization of climate change within schools.

Also, it proposes judgement of use and audiovisual exercises for children and the good use of these new resources, tools of great diversity for current education. Thus, it thoroughly analyzes a study on children's audiovisual communication, its successes and advances.
