The Proarties is part of PROART PROJECTS, which has been helping those in real need in South India from Spain since 2008. PROART has also an education project which goal is to connect kids around the globe in order to give them the opportunity to learn from each other, their similarities and differences, so they would be able to respect each other once they grow up.
The idea of The Proarties is that the dolls will be visiting different countries and spending time with children. These children would use The Proarties as characters to tell the story of their everyday life showing their homes, schools, playgrounds, meals, resources, etc; with pictures or videos which will be posted online and also uploaded to an usb device which will be attached to the Proartie while travelling to India via different countries. By doing so everyone will be able to access the information each doll accumulates so we could learn different ways of life in different parts of the world with no intermediation.
They will also be part of a series of cartoons and online graphic novels which will be created by the kids themselves.
If you already have a Proartie, or will be getting one, you know what this is all about. Here are a few guidelines of what the topics will be:
- My home.
- My toys.
- My neighborhood.
- My park.
- My school.
- My classroom.
- My playground.
- My favourite games.
- My favourite meal.
- …
