60\u00a0pupils from Grigorievca Village Gymnasium, Causeni District, and over 100\u00a0children from Kindergarten\u00a0No\u00a02\u00a0\u201cPovestea\u201d from Causeni Town learned many useful things about the Internet while watching the PikPok.online@gugu\u021b\u0103<\/a> show from the repertoire of the \u201cGuguta\u201d Municipal Puppet Theater. On October\u00a04, the theater team visited the children from the two localities, warning them that the risks they can face on social networks are real, and anyone can become a victim of the online environment.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe PikPok.online@gugu\u021b\u0103<\/a> show is an educational fairytale about correct behavior and responsibility, about good manners and common sense, about the rules to follow while chatting with strangers online, about protecting yourself and your relatives from certain risks, treating your real friends properly, and avoiding fake friends who can mislead you,\u201d Victoria Tataru<\/strong>, the Independent Journalism Center (IJC) program coordinator, said in her welcome speech.<\/p>\r\n

The children watched the theatrical show with great interest. As we found out later, it was the first time in the history of the gymnasium that a puppet theater arrived in the locality, and also the first time that the children met with actors and story protagonists (actually, most of the kids had never visited a theater before). \u201cIt has been taking place in our gymnasium for the first time today,\u201d several\u00a03rd<\/sup>\u00a0and\u00a04th<\/sup>\u00a0grade pupils said when they surrounded us to share their impressions.<\/p>\r\n\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"\r\n

\u201cI\u2019ve liked everything \u2013 the way the puppet theater actors danced, the way they sang, and the way they acted. At first, the wolf was evil, but he learned some useful things in the end. This show teaches us to be better, to act wise, and to value our true friends instead of blindly believing everything we see or read online. Some things can be fake or untrue,\u201d Adrian Luchianciuc<\/strong>, one of the pupils, told us.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cI also like the way the wolf changed his behavior. At first, he was telling lies just to become famous and popular. When he realized he was wrong, he apologized. And he also gave a flower as a sign of attention. It\u2019s a good thing to do, and we can follow his example. I often use TikTok. Today\u2019s play was a lesson to me: I should be more careful about what I watch there, it might not be true, Alexandra Sclerenco<\/strong>, his colleague, added.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThis show teaches us that deceiving is a bad thing to do, and if you lied to someone, you should definitely apologize. Online, not all things are true. We have to learn to distinguish the good things from the bad ones. I don\u2019t think I could figure it out alone,\u201d Ana Catanoi, <\/strong>another pupil, says.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe kids were very receptive, active, and stayed in a good mood throughout the performance. For them, it was a real celebration. The gymnasium has been existing for 45\u00a0years, and it\u2019s is the first time a real theater visits our village. Actually, we don\u2019t have a possibility to organize trips to Chisinau to visit the theaters there, but such cultural activities are absolutely necessary,\u201d Maria Ceban<\/strong>, primary school teacher, remarks.<\/p>\r\n

At the end, the children were eager to take some photos with the actors and the puppets, to keep the memory of that performance for as long as possible.<\/p>\r\n\"\"\r\n

In the afternoon, the \u201cGugu\u021b\u0103\u201d Municipal Puppet Theater actors played the same performance at the Romanian-Russian kindergarten No 2 \u201cPovestea\u201d in Causeni Town. Unlike in Grigorievca, the local children are luckier: they are often visited by various theater groups or go to the theater whenever they wish if there is a show they like in the repertoire.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cWe, the kindergarten teachers, have become accustomed to instilling art and culture in children. Through music, poetry, or stories, kids learn to see and to appreciate beauty; they develop such skills and traits as acting independently, not fearing to express their ideas, to say their opinions, to be heard, and also to make their own decisions,\u201d Rodica Cucta<\/strong>, the methodologist, told us. She also added that they appreciated the repertoire of the \u201cGugu\u021b\u0103\u201d Theater and were very happy to meet such guests as the puppet theater actors.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cWe have a digital education hour at our kindergarten, and during it, we will discuss and analyze the show we have watched together with the kids\u201d, Eugenia Ceban<\/strong>, kindergarten teacher, says. She adds that the topic of the play is very up-to-date and is a suitable educational material, especially for 6-7\u00a0year old kids. \u201cDo we teach children what a computer is? What a phone is? How it should be used? How much time should we spend using them? We do that at our kindergarten, parents do that at home, and I hope in this way children will realize that gadgets connected to the Internet are not toys. As far as we can see, children who have early access to these devices have poor vocabulary and articulation, they are nervous and easily irritable. In our kindergarten, we pay particular attention to speech development and development through games and interactive offline activities, not the virtual ones\u201d, the kindergarten teacher added.<\/p>\r\n\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"\r\n

PikPok.online@gugu\u021b\u0103 is an adaptation of the educational fairytale titled \u201cA Click of Fangs or the Manipulative Wolf\u201d written by media researcher Solvita Denisa Liepniece from Latvia. The show lasts for 45 minutes and is included in the repertoire of the \u201cGugu\u021b\u0103\u201d Theater both in Russian and Romanian. In partnership with the Independent Journalism Center, the \u201cGugu\u021b\u0103\u201d Theater launched the\u00a0 Romanian<\/a> version of the PikPok.online@gugu\u021b\u0103 show in November 2022, and the Russian<\/a>\u00a0one in February\u00a02023.<\/p>\r\n

The show is an educational and entertaining story intended for kindergarten children and primary school pupils. The play helps the little ones comprehend how the online environment functions and encourages them to analyze what they see or hear, especially on social media.<\/p>\r\n

The PikPok.online@gugu\u021b\u0103 show tour is organized within the framework of the project \u201cMedia Education and Literacy and Optimisation of Newsrooms\u201d (MELON). This project is financially supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Moldova<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>
