NexSchools Partners with Takorama Online International Children’s Film Festival 2021

Release Date: 28 April 2021
NexSchools partners with Takorama Online International Children’s Film Festival 2021, under the patronage of UNESCO to promote the film festival among schools and children in India.



NexSchools has partnered with the International Film Festival Takorama, under the patronage of UNESCO. The festival of short films addresses the theme of solidarity, tolerance, respect for others, and sustainable development.

Olivier Defaye, President of NPO "Films for children" said, “Many children in India will discover and enjoy the films but also give their opinion and vote for their favorite films. We hope the festival will be an opportunity for some to discover a vocation as a budding cinephile, but also for all to consider images not just as entertainment but as a tool to communicate their vision of the world.”

The film festival has come in a time when India is facing a very difficult situation and children are all homebound. This international festival is exploring the theme of humanism and ecology, entirely free of charge and without advertising, with the aim of enabling children to stay in contact and pursue schooling activities at home. The films are available in 20 languages including Hindi, Bangla and English.

The objective of the festival is to offer children original short films on the theme of solidarity in a free and educational context. Each short film is accompanied by a pedagogical sheet.

Mradula Singh, Founder & CEO of NexSchools informed, “The Takorama Film Festival brings films on various topics to support social and moral understanding, to teach values and character. It is available for children from preschool to high school.” She added, “During the time when we are facing many challenges in online schools the use of films can be effective in learning as an alternative tool besides adding it in the classroom instruction can be entertaining and welcoming for engagement.”

During the festival, the children are invited to vote for their favorite short film but also to participate in educational activities. Beyond the cinematographic and artistic education, the festival aims to assert the educational dimension of cinema by positioning it at the side of literature and painting as a resource liable to accompany and support the teachers as a whole and to allow the children to perceive animated images not only as an entertainment but also as a communication tool.
The festival is presented by Films Pour Enfants and in partnership with UNESCO, UNDOC besides many other international partners.
