Workshop
"LET’S MAKE MAGIC! WRITING FOR CHILDREN’S TV "
Only by invitation
The Ethiopian film industry and Ethiopian TV broadcasting companies are growing. Yet quality films and TV programmes for children are still rare.
Tibeb Girls is a successful Ethiopian action-drama TV show about three girls who use their superpowers to fight against injustice. Using their powers to see the past and future, the three Tibeb Girls get involved in the typical lives of Ethiopian girls, build empathy for their hardship and create a vision of a brighter future.
The pilot TV season Tibeb Girls for the age group 9-12 years has already won an international prize before its official launch.
The workshop “Let’s make Magic!” is for persons who are interested in improving their writing skills and the daily life of Ethiopian girls. During the workshop participants will work together with the creator of Tibeb Girls Bruktawit Tigabu and a Canadian script writing consultant, to bring their ideas into an outline and – in a second step – into a script. The best outlines will have the chance to be included into the TV series.
