What does it mean to be adopted? What emotions run through the heart of a child waiting for a new family? The project “From child to child”, promoted by the Regional Service for the international adoptions from the Piemonte regionwhich takes us into the world of Moïse. Through a series of animated videos, the story of Moïse, a young African, becomes the means to explain in a simple and touching way the complex process of adoption.
With language designed for the younger generation, these videos not only inform, but engage and excite, offering an intimate and profound look at a life-changing experience.
The Magic of Animated Videos
Three videos, available on Youtube, that are much more than simple animations: they are open windows on a world that is often poorly understood. Thanks to the animated illustrations and a narrative voice available in several languages, every viewer, whether a child, a parent, a teacher or a worker, can immerse themselves in the story of Moïse and follow every step of his journey. adoption process. These videos not only educate, but also move, allowing you to experience Moïse’s joys and fears as if they were your own.
The project is the result of careful teamwork. To create an authentic and engaging story, children who had already lived the experience of adoption were interviewed. These interviews, conducted under the supervision of the Department of Psychology of the University of Turin, offered valuable insights into how to explain such a complex experience in an accessible and respectful way. African cultural mediators and operators, experts in the field of children in difficulty, further enriched the project, ensuring that every detail was culturally sensitive and accurate.
The story of Moses
Moïse’s story is the common thread of the videos. Moïse, an African child who is about to be welcomed by an Italian family, lives an adventure made of discoveries and changes. Through his experiences, young viewers can better understand the adoption process and the emotions that accompany it. Each chapter of his story is a piece that, step by step, builds a complete picture of the adoption process. His symbolic interactions with other children adopted before him offer a sense of continuity and belonging, making the journey less lonely and more understandable.
Support for children and adults
“From child to child” is a bridge that connects cultures and continents, responding to the needs of children in an inclusive and attentive way. The availability of videos in multiple languages makes them accessible both in the country of birth and in the host country, facilitating a smoother transition for adopted children. This initiative by the Piedmont Region represents a shining example of international collaboration, where Europe and Africa meet to ensure the well-being of the little ones.
In addition to supporting children waiting for a family, “From Child to Child” offers a valuable tool for all children involved in the adoption process. The videos, in fact, stimulate questions and reflections, becoming a starting point for discussing adoption in an open and safe way. Adults, such as parents, teachers and operators, also find in these stories a valid help to accompany children through the different phases of adoption. A project that not only informs, but, above all, excites and unites, creating links between cultures and generations.
