ICI has produced a short animation series, 'Kweku and the Bird', to support awareness raising of child labour and existing solutions.
“Kweku and the bird” is a 4-part 3D-animation series developed by the International Cocoa Initiative for use during child labour awareness-raising sessions. The four episodes show the adventures of 12-year-old Kweku, the son of a cocoa farmer. They show the difference between dangerous work and light tasks for children, the importance of education, the key role of women and revenue increase in child protection, and the social significance of communities. Watch the trailer here or view all four episodes below. These films are also available in Twi.
