Suno Kahani
2008

is a multilingual, multicultural, story telling environment aimed at children from three to ten years of age and their families. It will act as engine that accumulates and assimilates folklore from the cross section of the ethnically diverse North American population and educate children about social values, and traditions in multiple languages.

North America continues to be the leading destination for immigrants from all over the world who wish for their children to be aware of their cultural heritage as well as the values of the society they live in. Suno Kahani aims to educate children about cultural and social values through interactive stories.

Benefits

At the moment, there does not exist a means for immigrant families to utilize interactive tools for educating children about cultural knowledge. Our product aims to go beyond the pages of a book and create a level of interaction that allows children to absorb information in a unique, animated manner. The key benefits that Suno Kahani offers are:

• Multicultural fairytales, nursery rhymes and folk stories in their native languages as well English and French
• Creating an interactive, fun filled learning environment
• Educating about social needs in a non-conventional educational environment using new media and the internet as the key medium for information dissipation.
• Creates a “fun & learn” environment for children and their families to develop environmental and linguistic awareness in a comfortable interactive manner.

At the same time in regions like North America where immigration is a key driver of communal diversity, such tools create an ideal inexpensive channel for cross cultural informational exchange through narratives of the cultures that constitute the respective mosaics and melting pots. As the product evolves, other segments of the market would also be focused on. Simultaneously we would also be looking at broader application of the product in areas like education
