BBC | I CAN'T GO TO SCHOOL TODAY

cC

 

You can view the I Can’t Go To School Today series on the Animated Minds website: here

This series continues Mosaic Films' long-standing tradition in making animated documentaries. The idea was simple:  given the amount of children who live with illness, and who are often absent from school, sometimes struggling to deal with day-to-day issues that many of us take for granted, can we give them a voice? The ideas was pitched to, and commissioned by BBC, for use in schools and for children to find themselves online as part of the BBC's Bitesize product.
