Digital solutions for children’s learning
Close to 3 million children have had their school year disrupted this year. Digital and mass media reaches not only children, but also their parents with educational content that can support literacy and mathematical outcomes. This is why ImagiNation Afrika decided to produce a 25 minute – 16-episode educational series using local Senegalese content to support children’s learning through a play-based approach.
