10 things about Sesame Street

Presentation transcript:

Ready to Learn Conference 2005 International Perspectives

2 Sesame Workshop: Around the World Sesame Street is broadcast in 120 countries through dubbed versions or local productions. Coproductions include a combination of TV, radio, educational materials, and outreach programs.

3 Global experience of children and media - an overall view Children are excited and eager to use new tools –e.g. India (computers), Bangladesh Rural Filmmakers. Children love seeing and hearing themselves represented -language, diversity and their surroundings including exposure to new things – e.g. Global Grover. Children don’t see obstacles that adults see – community viewing – e.g. South Africa, Bangladesh. Expanding and improving early childhood care and education for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

4 What’s out there? There is a digital divide which can be seen as an opportunity looking at our international partners who are creating initiatives to reach the most vulnerable and disadvantaged – e.g. community viewing, workshops, Hole in the Wall. There are good and bad television programs – e.g. developmentally and culturally appropriate, versioning into home languages.

5 Best Practices / Lessons Learned Research is critical in developing media. Must work with key local experts who help shape and define the educational, cultural and linguistic context of our program(s). Work in partnerships with governmental ministries to help build educational context that supports their national curriculum. Media literacy is often included in national curricula. Educational Outreach makes a difference – workshops must be a series to build capacity and skills. Materials must be available in home languages. Children learn best in their home languages and are often multilingual.

7 Expanding and improving early childhood care and education, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children Through Community Outreach we address the needs of the most underserved populations by:  training caregivers, parents, and local educators to use media as an educational tool  providing educational materials to extend the impact of TV and radio
