THE FOREST FIVE

THE FOREST FIVE

TV series

PRODUCTION INFORMATION


Five forest cubs explore the secrets of the world and especially the most important one - FRIENDSHIP.

PRODUCER'S NOTE:
As enthusiastic storytellers for children, we created The Forest Five as a world of knowledge young viewers will be excited to enter.
Instead of memorising facts, children can learn via the stories of their favourite characters.
Together with them, they are on the important mission: learning by doing, exploring and most of all – be a good friend.
It is based on the thesis that education is play, discovery and joy.
It balances educational content with pro-social, moral values through adventure and heartwarming stories.
We would like to bring unique content for broadcasters, but also for educational institutions.
Our aim is to build friendly and tolerant class teams.
In bigger scale build the open society capable of critical thinking and understanding.


WHAT MAKES THE SERIES SPECIAL:
• Unique, complex, international concept
• Developed in accordance with the methodology proposed in curriculum reform
• Education through storytelling
• Guide to critical thinking
• Modelling a non-combative approach to conflict resolution
• Psychosocial themes of the stories are just as important as the educational subject matter
