Dozens of animated stories have been produced by Pasifika children in South Auckland depicting their cultural roots.
Tutors from Pacific Kids' Learning have just completed a pilot program where they taught 50 Pasifika students from primary schools in South Auckland how to create animated stories.
The mastermind behind the program Evo Leota-Tupou says her vision is to introduce technology and digital learning to the participating learners.
Pacific Kids' Learning delivered 10 two-hour workshops with three schools - Flatbush Primary, Jean Batten School and Rise Up Academy.
Working in pairs, the students created a two-minute digital story using stop motion, Lego, plasticine and materials like tapa to create either a fictional story or a story about their cultural roots.
