Activities in Zazaish, an endangered language, are almost non-existent. It is known that literary studies exist in the field of literature, however, no work can be created in the field of visual arts. The project, which will go through the processes of children's plays, books and documentaries, will contribute to the literature of different disciplines, thereby reaching a broader audience. Through a children's game called Vewremerdim, the project aims to reach its target audience in order to increase the interest of children and sensitivity of adults, motivate speaking of the language actively in daily life, thereby creating change and development.
