But why choose Mash&Co. Let’s find out together.

 

1. Mash&Co is a child-friendly app

Mash&Co is a child-designed app. Through metalinguistic communication, it transmits values and topics related to the environment, renewable energies, sharing and friendship, on which the narrative flow bases. By interacting directly with stories and characters, children will be able to improve their sense of discovery through trans-media narrative, stimulate their creativity, problem-solving skills, and think critically, enhancing their creative and interpretative ability.

Gaming dynamics have been designed to ensure that children develop interactive, recognition and coordination skills in a stimulating and entertaining way, without any command or indication. In fact, there are no texts or voices out there that could somehow interfere with the imagination of children and their way of discovering the pieces needed to keep up the story.

To this end, we give the opportunity to kids and parents to record their voice on the animated scenes, to enhance children’s imagination who can thus tell their story version by increasing their logic capacities. This feature triggers a mechanism that helps parents or educators to create constructive moments of sharing.

2. Mash&Co is also for you, parents.

The application is for the whole family. In addition to having fun with your kids playing, inventing stories and looking at the mini spots, you can monitor the progress of your kid’s thanks to a specific panel, the Parental Corner. You will be able to assess the development of children and the cognitive attitudes acquired during the game phases.

Mash&Co uses Storytelling as a privileged communication, that is to say, narrative made with digital tools (web apps, Webware) that consists in organizing narrative content so that a story consists of a variety of richly-stimulated meanings such as video, audio, images, texts, and maps. Thanks to this kind of interaction, events, characters, information can be linked together. Children will be emotionally involved and stimulated to learn new knowledge. Storytelling is also an alternative way of dealing with issues as it creates a new space for reasoning.

4. Mash&Co addresses important issues

Letizia Grasso, Educationalist
“All grown-ups were children, but few of them remember it” This phrase is engraved on my heart. The child who marvels at small things is always with me. I firmly believe that the school should focus on self-construction of knowledge through direct contact with the outside world and, therefore, through the experiences of life. A school open to life and from life itself learns. A school that teaches to observe every little thing, to wonder and to ask questions. A school that forms adults who know how to reflect and put into a relationship the mind and heart.”
