In the Early Education category, programs for children up to
about age 12 are entered and evaluated. Fifty programs from 28 countries were
entered in JAPAN PRIZE 2002. They were well targeted and well balanced, dealt
with a large variety of subjects and had appropriate editorial and technical formats.
Many programs dealt with bullying and exclusion; there were also many programs
about the environment.
Many programs presented fresh ideas and humor but storytelling was still critical.
Programs on school curriculum subjects, such as science, languages and education
for art and music became more interactive through their websites and other types
of interactivity such as using the internet or offering practical activities to
do at home or school. |
