Students from Goa, Portugal and Cape Verde create stop-motion films on climate awareness
Panaji: Diela Correia, a Class 6 student of St Andrew's ICSE School, Vasco, spent a year immersed in a unique project that helped her tap into her creative side. She is one of 450 students, 150 each from Goa, Portugal and Cape Verde, who have come together for 'Historias Daqui e Dali III', a unique, cross-cultural project centred on climate awareness. As part of the initiative, children wrote stories inspired by Unesco's Sustainable Development Goal on Climate Action. The stories were exchanged among schools across the three regions to be illustrated, translated, and eventually transformed into three stop-motion animated films. The Camoes-Centro de Lingua Portuguesa, the Consulate General of Portugal in Goa, and Communicare Trust will screen these films at Instituto Camoes in Panaji on Friday. The idea for the project sparked in 2017 from the Kalakriti project by Communicare Trust, wherein students from Saint Michael's School at Taleigao wrote, illustrated and animated four stories that were published in Hindi and English. Broadening the scope of the project, Communicare launched 'Stories From Here and Beyond', in which students from two or more countries collaborate as the authors, illustrators, and movie makers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

The youngsters subsequently came up with an idea that was fleshed out, completed, and sent to Portugal, and the students there began illustrating it. Meanwhile, a story from Cape Verde was sent to Goa to be illustrated by the students of St Andrew's. Once the latter completed both the artwork and stop-motion animation under supervision, they were aided in translating the three stories into Konkani, and finally, each component of the project was ready. 'We got an opportunity to learn about different cultures and nature. It also helped me get along with my classmates and connect with foreign students. I am looking forward to more such experiences in the future,' Correia said.
