More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Families are victims of a consumer-oriented lifestyle. Many parents, working overtime, don’t have time to talk and play with their kids: activities that build closer relations in family. Children ages 5 to 10 are particularly sensitive. Magic Box helps them express their needs and shows parents what they can change.

Activities

Train teachers to help families improve communication at home and stop consumer- oriented lifestyle. Provide workshops for children and their families. Organize meetings for participants to share experiences.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Better recognition of children's needs by parents. Improved relationships between children and parents. Increased awareness about environment-friendly behaviors. More responsible for nature activities at homes.

Project Message

Magic Box is a good tool to encourage family to make an effort and break an easy, but not fully satisfying, lifestyle. It helps children to talk about the things that concern them.
