Learning Village: The Islands

Hi everyone,

I am collaborating again with the brilliant Caroline and Simon of Across Cultures (UK) in the creation of a new language learning program for students aged 7-13 years. This time, Across Cultures is working together with New Zealand’s Ministry of Education!

Four different paths will take the learners on an exciting voyage among magical islands where they will meet rich landscapes, many cultures, and different people from around the world while learning a language, exercise their speech and writing abilities, and take assessments autonomously or in class, using a visual-based approach.

These below are some previews of the map, all designed in vectors: (the waves and many other objects will be animated later)

A few of the “friends” that the learners will meet on the voyage:

Some backgrounds and full-screen illustrations:

And a few sketches below:

thanks for watching! 🙂
