Thank you so much for all your ideas and help throughout this cocreation project! We have really enjoyed working with you guys, and it has been a pleasure making videos to you!
Now for the final video...!
Will the princess get her friends back? And what about the wizard, is he totally gone??
And all the garbage is still around, will the "kingdom" ever be clean again?
See the video and find out :D

Our response to Nipsula
In our third video we have taken into consideration that the children found the last video difficult to understand - we have tried to unfold the story so it would make more sense to the children (including the part about the missing wizard, where some of the children thought it was a dream - we have made the magic in this video more visible, so it hopefully will be more clear what has happened to the wizard).
We have attached a document with some feedback questions - we hope that you'll take the time to answer them:-)
At last we would like to thank you for being so enthusiastic and comitted to this cocreation - it has been a pleasure to work with you!
We need your help again!
The magic wand backfired and now the wizard is lost!
Here are some questions to help you on your way, if you get stuck:
Examples upon how the unlucky hero can get the wizard back?
How can the princess re-unite with her two friends?
Creating a magical melody that’ll help the princess to transform (into being enviromentally conscious) Our response to Nipsula
We were very excited to receive the childrens response and seeing the pictures - we have tried to include most of it in the video/chapter to come and we hope to include the last of it in the final chapter.
One of our teachers told us that you have a room with technical artifacts/props available - is this correct? If so, we would like to ask you to create a magical song/melody that'll help transform the princess into a good, environmentally conscious, princess.
We wrote you a timeschedule in our last mail - due to a mandatory educational debate, the teachers have exposed our deadline and the video will not be available on the blog until tomorrow,
Here are some questions to help you on your way, if you get stuck:
Can you create som characters or props from the garbage you collect, to stop the prinsess? How can the unlucky hero help the prinsess? Can the queen help? What do you think the wizard will do next? Our response to Nipsula
Together with the children we would like you to see and talk about the video - after which we hope you will go outside and see if the garbage princess has walked through your area. We would like you to collect garbage and reflect upon how it affects nature and wildlife - this too will help the characters in the video. Your input can be whatever feels meaningful to the children in extension of the fairy tale.
The main subject of our project is Nature, with subtopics about garbage, culture about the local environment and cooperation between the children/teamwork.
We want the children to help us create a fairy tale about a bad "garbage princess" who doesn't care about the nature. Throughout this cocreation we will cooperate about cleaning the nature and find out how to stop this princess - maybe be recycling some of the garbage?
We're really looking forward to see the development of this cocreation!
Our cocreation project with Nipsula daycare in Finland has now begun, and we're all looking forward to post our first video!
Keep your eyes on the webside as we ongoing will make post about the process in our work.
Love Esben, Camilla, Boline, Saeid, Maria and Heidi! :)
