“the Little frog”

Setting out on the “Little frog”program we had no idea where it would lead us.

One after another , our efforts to find and study the frog population fell flat.

What we found

Unrestrained construction, Cementization of wetlands, pollution and prolonged drought had done a thorough damage.

Our research, our worries and the conclusions we arrived at, were presented in a Shadow

Theater performance featuring the heroes of Karaghiozis shadow theater and the little frog.

The story

The Pasha’ s daughter falls sick and her only way to get better is to be kissed by a little frog. Karaghiozis and the rest of the heroes search all around the island and the places they know they’d find frogs; their effort keep falling through , as over construction , pollution and drought diminished the frog population

Hope for a better future •

In the course of the play , ‘Kollitiri’ Karaghiozis son, desperately tries to tell something to his father. As it often happens, grown ups fail to listen to their children. At last little Kollitiri is allowed to show them what he had kept hidden in his pocket since he visited a wetland with his teacher on an environmental program. The story ends, providing both food for thought and hope for a better future.

The actual performance was presented in the

2nd Pankycladic Environmental Meeting

in the island of Tinos

Information was collected by 5th and 6th grade children and the performance’s presentation by 4th graters.
