 Vegetalia Mie −MIZY Webcam survey report on March 14th, 2015

Pangaea runs surveys before and after the Webcam activities to see the changes in children. The question we ask the children is “How do you feel about the partner country and the people?”. Children have 5 options to select from “Love them, Like them, OK, Don’t like them much, Hate them” Following graphs are the survey result from Vegeteria Mie.

We had about 40 responses for the surveys. According to the results, the Webcam based communications seem to be providing positive influence for both Vegetalia Mie and Korea. For example, in Korea, the score of the “Love them and Like them” significantly changed from pre-activity 55% to post-activity 95%. In Vegetalia Mie, the score of “Don’t like them much” became 0% after the activity.

For the open question of “Please write anything on what you feel about the partner country”, we found many general comments which children write based on what they hear from the society (setting apart the truth or fault of the information) before the activity. However, after the Webcam activity, we found more specific comments based on their visual and physical experience.

I wonder if children are aware of their changes?
These small changes that happen unconsciously are what we want them to experience. I am very happy to see this survey result that is telling me that our objective is somewhat achieved.
