In today’s world, it is more important than ever to raise children’s awareness of environmental protection. Plastic waste, polluted beaches, and habitat destruction are issues that affect all of us, but especially the generations of tomorrow. As parents and educators, we have the responsibility to teach our children how to respect and protect the world. Naturally, we can do this by leading by example in our own behavior.
Another wonderful tool to introduce children to the value of nature in a playful yet educational way is audio dramas. They not only stimulate imagination and creativity but can also convey important values. One example is the audio drama “Luana, the Candy Wrapper, and the Sea,” an in-house production by the digital audio boutique “Ohrenflausen.de” from the Verlag für Eingemachtes. The publisher is a partner of hörbert, and the audio drama is part of our Ohrenflausen memory card edition (in german language) for hörbert.
In “Luana, the Candy Wrapper, and the Sea,” all the little heroes of the seas dive in with the protagonist Luana and accompany her on her journey through the wonderful underwater world. After a gust of wind blows her candy wrapper and all seven candy papers into the sea, Luana, together with the crab Kerby, embarks on an adventurous quest to retrieve the trash.
Along the way, she discovers the colorful beauty of the oceans, encounters many impressive sea creatures, and learns why plastic, and especially old drifting fishing nets—called “ghost nets”—are so dangerous to marine life.
Audio dramas like “Luana, the Candy Wrapper, and the Sea” are a wonderful medium to gently and clearly introduce the topic of marine protection. They not only offer entertaining stories but also provide valuable learning effects. Here are some reasons why audio dramas are particularly well-suited for children’s environmental education:
Repetition Enhances Learning: By repeatedly listening to an audio drama, children better internalize the messages. They not only absorb the lessons of the audio drama once but can experience them again and again through the hörbert player.
With the hörbert audio player, made from locally sourced wood and using only 5% recyclable plastic for the necessary electronics, we focus on sustainable and educational entertainment. With this music and audio drama box for children, we, along with our customers, set an example for environmentally responsible use of electronic devices.
There are many organizations and initiatives actively working to protect our seas and reduce plastic waste. Here are just a few exciting projects worth checking out:
Environmental education doesn’t always have to be dry or preachy—it can also be fun and creatively designed. Audio dramas like “Luana, the Candy Wrapper, and the Sea” offer just this opportunity: They make important topics like environmental protection accessible in a way that excites children while also teaching them. By integrating such stories into children’s everyday lives, we lay the foundation for a generation that respects nature and actively works to protect it.
Do you have any other tips for wonderful audio dramas or environmental projects that bring environmental protection closer to our children—or even us adults—in a creative way?
