What is this project all about?

Today’s online media landscape is not child-safe.
Ads, auto-play and unwanted suggestions are hard to avoid. On top of this, studies have linked commercial children's series to common developmental issues including concentration disorders, memory disorders and developmental delay.
Fast paced cartoons with quick cuts, and intense color palettes, overstimulate children's brains during crucial developmental stages.
It is undeniable that digital media has become a fixed component of our lives and therefore, a part of our children’s. While we strongly advocate decreasing screen time, we know that strict prohibition is not a viable solution. Instead, a healthy and conscious alternative is needed!
A safe, ad free streaming site that's content is created and vetted by trained educators. All videos featured on MIRI TV fulfil the following list of requirements written by a pediatrician.
Through a subscription, parents and children gain access to a media library with a wide range of videos appropriate for children ages 3+.
The formats include two categories:
Entertainment:
Fairy tales, stories, documentaries, infotainment, puppet shows and animations.
Interactive videos:
Music, body percussion, hand-clapping games, crafts and more.
All of this and much more you'll be able to access on our Miri Tv streaming site by the end of September.
The website will be available for IOS, android and on web browsers.
Thank you for your support to make this dream a reality,
your Miri Team!

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Or goal is to raise awareness of the the hazards of today's media landscape for children, as well as to offer a safe, and inspiring solution. We will create an online space, where parents can trust the content that they let their children watch there. This means that that the child's screen time will not only be safe, but may also support their cognitive, as well as physical development.

This project is for all parents (or soon to be), who care about what their kids consume during screen time.

Why would you support this project?

Throughout our project's journey, we have come to see that the theme of safe children's content affects many more people than we could have possibly imagined. Time, and time again, we have heard the complaint that there are no alternatives to mainstream children's entertainment.
We ask for support from not just parents of young children but from all humans who wish for there to be meaningful entertainment for future generations.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

Safe content is important, but equally important is a safe online space for it to be watched in. Our young viewers need to be able to access our videos without being exposed to ads, auto-play or unwanted suggestions.
That's why we are trying to raise money for the programming of an App available to both IOS and Android where children can enjoy our videos in a protected online space.
