Journey to the World of Animation

July 2022 - June 2023
DİYARBAKIR

Animated productions are an important tool for children’s development, allowing them to get to know themselves as well as to think and question the world around them. Journey to the World of Animation project aims to organise animation-focused workshops to develop children’s ideation, probing, project design, communication and creative skills.

The topics of the workshop include the following:

  • Character Creation and Drawing
  • Script Writing
  • Shooting (Video and Photography)
  • 2D Animation
  • 3D Animation


Workshops will be open to children of ages of 7-15 and conducted by experts in their field. Each workshop will accommodate 15 children.

At the end of the workshop series, there will be an event where children’s creations will be shared. Experts in animation, creative arts for children and from civil society organisations as well as educational institutions and parents will be participating in this event.

Venue and equipment support for the project will be provided by Diyarbakır Industrial School, Anima Production, ZarokMa, Anka Language and Arts Education Cooperative that have been working for and with children for many years.

Children First Association

Children First Association was established in Diyarbakır in 2017 with the aim of carrying out studies for the psycho-social, cultural-artistic development and linguistic, mental and physical development of children within the framework of the children's rights convention and to support individuals and organisations working on this subject.

The association aims to develop projects on different themes and subjects in the field of culture and art, to produce under the participation and leadership of children, and to deliver these productions to as many children as possible through visual media platforms. In this sense, the association carries out joint studies with Zarok TV, the first and the only children's channel broadcasting in Kurmancî and Zazakî/Kirmancki dialects of Kurdish, especially to deliver productions to children.
