The popular child-friendly program Sisimpur for Bangladeshi children got the nomination for the internationally prestigious Kidscreen Awards.
Sisimpur received this nomination along with other two world-famous child-friendly series in the category of ‘Best mixed media series’ for its episodes from the 13th season.
Learning through play, helping others and thus getting to know that people get happier for being able to help each other are emphasised in this episode, which is critical for child development. Along with this, Sisimpur highlights empathy, science, environment, literacy, math etc. in each episode of the season.
Kidscreen Awards are given in different categories including best series, animated film and live action programs developed for kids and family audiences around the world. Winners’ names for the year 2022 will be announced in February through a gorgeous program.
Executive Director of Sisimpur Mohammad Shah Alam said, “This is undoubtedly a very much delightful message. Kidscreen Awards is a very prestigious award for children’s programmes worldwide. Our Sisimpur has been nominated among the best three competing with leading child-friendly programs in the world. I think it’s a matter of great pride for us which will tremendously encourage our future works.”
Sisimpur was also awarded as the best child-friendly programme in a survey conducted by the BBC World Service Trust in 2010 and was nominated as the third-best popular programme in overall categories.
Bangladeshi version of Sesame Workshop ‘Sisimpur’ is working since 2005 under the pre-primary child development programme with the goal ‘Let children be more complete, stronger and kinder in all areas’. Different ministries of the government are supporting the implementation of various programmes including broadcasting.
Sesame Workshop is the non-profit media and educational organisation behind Sesame Street, the pioneering television show that has been reaching and teaching children since 1969.
