Young Explorers: new short films share city life as experienced by three-year-olds No Images? Click here   Young Explorers: new short films share city life as experienced by three-year-olds In five newly released short films, toddlers take you along their daily hometown journeys in two very different cities – Pune in India and Recife in Brazil. Join Ahaan, Mokshada, Lulu, Elloah and Ze as they travel their streets with the people who care for them, and share the opportunities and challenges they encounter every day. Today, more than a billion children live in cities. Cities can be wonderful places to grow up, but they can also pose serious challenges for the health and well-being of babies, toddlers and the people who care for them – from a lack of nature and safe spaces to play, to air pollution and traffic congestion, to social isolation. At the same time, both Recife and Pune, like all cities, offer marvellous opportunities for babies and toddlers to explore, interact with and learn from the sights, sounds and fellow residents of the city.  Toddlers Ahaan, Mokshada, Lulu, Elloah and Ze, together with the people who care for them, take you through their neighbourhoods in Pune and Recife and show you the city from 95cm. After seeing their journeys and experiencing the city through their eyes, what do you like and what would you change?     Watch & share videos: Meet Lulu. Follow this young explorer, aged nearly 3, as she travels the streets of her home town Recife, Brazil – climbing steep paths, buying a carton of drink, watching older boys play football, and visiting the community centre with her mother.  Meet Ahaan. Follow this young explorer, aged 18 months, as he travels the streets of his home town Pune, India – chasing a dog, climbing in a tuk-tuk, meeting artisans at work making copper bowls, and reaching for brightly coloured produce at the market.  Meet Elloah. Follow this young explorer, aged 5, as she travels the streets of her home town Recife, Brazil, with her grandmother and cousin – taking the bus to the market, looking at chickens, shopping for beans and bananas, and waiting for the bus back home.  Meet Mokshada. Follow this young explorer, aged 13 months, as she travels the streets of her home town Pune, India – shyly meeting other children, enjoying a drink of lime juice, climbing uneven steps and crossing a busy road in her father’s arms.  Meet Ze. Follow this young explorer, aged 4, as he travels the streets of his home town Recife, Brazil – chasing pigeons, walking through a closed market, drinking from a coconut and playing on the beach with his father.   Join the movement! We’d love to see your photos or videos of babies, toddlers and the people who care for them living everyday life in your city. What do you like? And what would you change? ACTION: Post your photo or video on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram or LinkedIn with the following message: Here is my city from 95 cm. What do you think? A city that works for babies and toddlers is a city that works for everyone. #urban95explorers   Help us spread the word Would you like to help us raise awareness of the challenges and joys that small children growing up in the city face, and the importance of supporting urban babies, toddlers and the people who care for them?
