Ugi the owl tells vulnerable children not to be scared during lockdown
A Theirworld-funded project made by Maya Vakfı (which provides psychosocial support services to children and young people) produced a storytelling video to support vulnerable children in Turkey, including Syrian refugees, who are forced to stay at home by the pandemic.
It features the heartwarming tale of a boy named Tohara who is having a hard time under lockdown. In a dream, he talks to a wise owl called Ugi. They discuss Tohara's feelings and challenges - and Ugi suggests ways to deal with his emotions.
Bediz Büke İren Yıldızca, Programme Coordinator at Maya Vakfı, said: "As in the story, there are several different emotions that the pandemic unfolds in children - such as anxiety, fear, loneliness, hopelessness, boredom and sleep problems. Even though this story was created to process the effects of the pandemic on children, it can be considered timeless, as trauma is a phenomenon that permeates all areas of modern life."
