Paddington Tool

Jiawen Yao (CN)

This project uses the iconic Paddington Bear to reflect on English values to newly arrived children. The project translates the values into tasks that children need to fulfill, like a game, where the tasks become harder and harder. Children must complete all the tasks to integrate into the local society. The tasks are hidden behind Paddington’s coat; children have to find them by themselves. The project uses a kind of soft power to affect children, pushing them to become ‘better’ English citizens.
