Little Amal vs Ivanani

To highlight the plight of refugees across the globe, the charity Good Chance, along with the world-famous creators of War Horse Handspring Puppet Company, created The Walk - a travelling real-world festival of art and hope. The Walk features Little Amal, a 3.5meter tall puppet of a child refugee, who walks 8000km across Europe searching for her mother and the chance to start a new life. Now, with the help of award-winning storytellers Alchemy Immersive, The Walk has been brought to life in a new and engaging digital experience. Introducing Little Amal – The Interactive Journey. This interactive storybook enables you to experience the drama and danger Little Amal faces when fleeing her war-torn home in Syria. Her epic walk will take her across 7 countries, through treacherous seas, high mountain passes, dense forests and hostile cities. Living alone in the forest, battling hunger and being stalked by wild animals are just a few of the challenges she faces as she goes. Along the way Little Amal will need your help to overcome these obstacles and succeed on her desperate journey to freedom.

IVANANI is an innovative educational application that combines augmented reality (AR), 3D animation and interactive storytelling to engage children in exploring cultures and the world around them. Designed for children aged 8 to 12, IVANANI takes them on exciting adventures, immersing them in a wide range of topics, both ancient and modern, while surrounding them with interactive educational content. In the first adventure, currently presented at the Museum of Archaeology of Catalonia (MAC) as part of the IMPERIUM exhibition, children join this extraterrestrial robot on a mission to discover what life was like for Roman children. With the help of augmented reality, children interact with elements of the exhibition, turning the museum visit into an exciting and educational journey. The application creates a bridge between the digital and physical worlds, offering an experience that is both fun and informative. Although this first chapter focuses on the Roman period, future adventures will cover a wide range of cultures, historical periods and global themes, helping children to broaden their understanding of the world.
