Who wants to be an actor/actress? [Bangladesh]
For the DRR educational video production, scripts for four topics – Fire, Air Pollution, Weather disturbance, and Infectious diseases, have been prepared with the help of our production partner, Ekmattra Entrepreneur Ltd. We are now working on casting to produce the videos!
As per the scripts, there will be four main child characters in the videos and in order to find the talent, SEEDS Asia and Ekmattra organized acting auditions at the Model Academy and Lalmatia Housing Society School and College, our pilot schools of the ongoing school-based DRR project. About 50 interested students from class 7 to 9 participated in the audition. Many of them looked nervous in front of the camera but they all did a great job! Result to be announced shortly.
We would also like to report that Bangladesh reopened schools on September 12 after a year and half of shutdown due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Our pilot schools also resumed classes, albeit in reduced capacities, and we were happy to see the students in the school after a long time!
