Implementation
For the production of the video series, we took over the planning and execution of the interview shoots in the individual daycare centers and kindergartens. The FRÖBEL specialists were asked about the various educational focuses and their answers were recorded.
The entire production process, including editing, graphic design and animation, was carried out by our team. The interviews were supplemented with suitable animations and graphics in order to present the content in a visually appealing way and effectively convey FRÖBEL’s messages.
Results
The video series “Questions to the practice” was successfully published on the new FRÖBEL website and has received positive feedback from parents, educators and other interested parties. The interviews offer an authentic insight into the educational work of FRÖBEL and illustrate the importance of the various focal points for the education and care of children.
Thanks to the appealing design and informative presentation of the content, we were able to help strengthen FRÖBEL’s profile as an innovative and quality-oriented provider of childcare facilities through testimonials and gain the trust of the target group.
