Better Internet for Kids

This year, a new season of the series was launched, with an updated and more contemporary design. It includes the use of motion capture technology, the inlaying of real sets and character animations with skeleton control. It is also an opportunity to update certain topics related to digital use that have changed a lot since the very first version of the Vinz and Lou series was released.  

Through the eyes of a humorous brother and sister duo - Vinz and Lou, this new season aims to answer concrete questions from children about the main issues related to their digital activities: here, we talk about social networks, influencers and the economic model they are part of, cyberbullying and the attention economy that constantly brings us back to our screens.  

For each thematic episode and to elaborate the scenarios, the methodology consists of the co-construction and validation of the contents by experts on the subject. For the occasion, a young ad-hoc panel was also created, which allowed to refine the discourse, to adapt it as closely as possible to the problems of the children's age group, but also to correct the language and the touches of humour so that the tone is the most appropriate to their sensitivity.
