1001 Nights Civic and Peace Education Program
2018 WISE Award Recipient
The 1001 Nights Life Skills Civic Education Program (LSCE) is a multi-platform educational entertainment program that uses cartoons to teach children aged 6-12 life skills and civic values, (including non-violence, human rights, democracy, gender equality, and the rule of law) in formal and informal learning environments. This program is based upon our award-winning animated television series 1001 Nights, which has aired as commercial entertainment in over 70 countries to a global audience of over 100 million people on premier television networks, including Disney, Cartoon Network, Al Jazeera Children’s Channel and Discovery Kids. 1001 Nights has been one of the three most popular family programs on television in 50 countries, including all of those in the MENA region.
