Ideas for International Children's Book Day
1. Borrow a book
Website with a list of children's books from around the world that you can borrow and read.
The delivery charges costs you money with an additional €2 which goes towards the organisation for donation to the cause.
When you finish the book you return it to the organisation.
On the interactive website, underneath details on that book, you will see a list of all the people in the world that borrowed and read that. You can see where that book has travelled to. There is a discussion section so you can talk to people around the world about that book.

2. Learn a new language
Interactive website that has a list of books that you can read online.
You can change the language of the story.
Simple interactive games during the story to help teach you basic words in another language of your choice.
You must complete the challenges to move forward in the story.

3A. Read out loud (New Technology idea one)
Interactive website that tells a story.
They are first person in the story and the visuals are animated. It's almost like a video game
The sentences are at the bottom of the page. The child uses a microphone and reads the words out loud into the microphone. The website picks up the words (like Siri) and when the child is reading the sentence, it will change color. If a child gets stuck on a word they can either spell it out or click on the help button. The child will then be told the word with the correct pronunciation. If the child pronounces a word incorrect the helper will correct the child and the child will have to repeat the word until they get it correct. It's almost like a video game except that your voice controls the movement of the story.
3B. Read out loud (New Technology idea two)
Interactive virtual reality that tells a story.
It is similar to the idea above expect that instead of it being an interactive website, it is an interactive virtual reality. The visuals are animated and the characters move around the first person. The words/sentences will appear around the first person. The child uses their voice to control the journey of the characters and story. When they read the sentence the words will change color and disappear. The next sentence will appear then. You can set the language of the story to any language that's on the list. If a child gets stuck on a word they can either spell it out or click on the help button. The child will then be told the word with the correct pronunciation. If the child pronounces a word incorrect the helper will correct the child and the child will have to repeat the word until they get it correct.
Idea for International Animation Day
1. You are the animator
Website that's an interactive animation/story
The story is fixed but you design the main characters and the props that are required during the story. Story moves forward once you finished drawing and clicked submit. Once you click submit then your character and props will be animated and interact together.

Idea for International Museum Day
1. Explore a museum at home
Interactive website that's of the inside of a museum. Google map street view kind of style with 360 camera. You can rotate, look around the museum. You can click on the arrows to move forward to the next area. On each of the exhibits there's a star and when you click on them you get to here the audio tour about that piece with a video showcases that piece from different angles( if it's 3D. Just an image then if its a painting or 2D image).

Idea for World Ocean day
1. Explore the ocean
Interactive website/animation/film/game of a beach and sea. You can explore the animated world of the sea/ocean by clicking on the arrows. There will be animated creatures trapped by plastic and the challenge of the game is to save them from it. When you have saved them from the plastic, a video will appear about them and how plastic affects them and their environment. The purpose of this interactive website is to create awareness about World Ocean Day and the damage plastic is doing to this environment and species that live in it.
