to see. where every. high up in the ok on today's episode of the student to superheroes and a flying tigress take on the coronavirus in india at least it's pretty as musk. all restraint. we used to go to the. free 9 trios your friends and this is. why you sad nina i

miss my fans. my feelings to. come on let's go on a journey have you ever been on a flight. to p.t. way to navigate through the global pandemic if you have questions comments you know what to do jump into the comments section. and could be part of today's discussion at the height of the lockdown during the pandemic my niece who is 3 years old her name is sonya was taken out of school and was at home for several weeks and one day she told her mom and she was crying she said i have no one to share my feelings with i feel lonely when i heard this i knew that this comic book the next one should focus on how the pandemic is affecting children and how priya as

a female superhero and her flying tiger sauce can help because there's a beautiful magical realism in what priya stands for which kids completely connect with. was ron co-creating. real again to discuss this comic how it's helping people and also how educational storytelling can be when we're in a global pandemic should tell everybody humanity welcome back to the stream. the writer on previous unmasked. excited to be on talk about the comic the pandemic our comic books just like to see that it's in the wind an exciting journey with commute in the ragin it to the people we've got. you know the got children contacting us got educators contacting us we've had schools printing out the material and doing activities with their students at this time and we're doing everything we can to

get the story out there get the conversation going. and you know kind of be that light and kind of the hopeful of this time when things are looking pretty bleak and dark so that's what we're trying to do as artists and that this was our attempt. to educate and to bring attention to the sacrifices being made by essential workers. we're not going to just put over the conversation at once of rodeos after. welcome to the street tell a real human. my name is 3 am i'm a counseling psychologist in an obvious therapist and i'm very happy to be here and specially because 9 i was able to associated with mark so much because it talks about what is often unsaid and unnoticed and that is not this yet unsaid it talks about those emotions and experiences that are so hard to share you know when. a

story that she's been feeling sad that it's she's missing all those times when she spent with her mother and that is something that all of us are going to as well. and while idiots at emotions and experiences at so many levels that those us to address our emotions so for me as a mask is about expressing that in washington's and accepting enough knowledge ing that yes this situation is hard and it's ok to be scared. and welcome back to the stream pronounce it to see it remind our audience who you are what each. so i. went in n.g.o.s which does a lot of behavior change communication in fact i created the most popular saw put on for women's empowerment and for young people a woman can achieve anything and i'm a great admirer of any work specially comics are changing

social norms and behavior because the pandemic absolutely needed something like this very badly and i'm delighted to see this program but. in general believe that source social norms have to be questioned then changed in behavior. change and we desperately need to change behavior for children for women for weiland a to end violence that and this work that was done during the pandemic was badly needed given that young people suddenly had to step out of school it was hard for anyone to explain to them there was a fear psychosis is that was created as the world closed down suddenly it young people in india and all over the world suffered silently the

most and very few people catered to them so it's really exciting that comics is the game and help young people in india. you know it should just getting big yeah i just wanted to. cry that speaks to me because i remember when we were inundated with information from all sides you know the politicians talking we had economists talking b.s. financial nears the end you know maybe not enough from health care officials but there wasn't enough to address a demographic an important demographic of young adults or younger kids and that's why i feel that we as maps presently did that so many people because we talked about children who. were not being addressed was was feelings are not being talked about at this time. i'm just saying you know kids who.

do the lady said if you just give me what a little a little tiny little space i can just say. from the comic as well i am looking at the picture here and we've got a beautiful tigress imprint who is a superhero wearing her cape and then scenes scenes from india from back in march when people were saying this one here is on my laptop is i'm going to show one this one on my laptop so that you can see the scenes because these scenes as the news footage that we share it with our these are scenes that kids would have remembered they would have sealed the news what is the power of using a real life story real life stories as inspiration for something that also is fantastical as well shipwreck. yes i think that it's essential that we address the world there are us and we can't. we can't just overlook that we can just see that

you know this isn't happening this is the reality and children are of this world they are seeing what is going on around them at some time absorb information much more deeply than we do as adults we become number to sensitize after hearing statistics you know that children register all of those things and have questions for all of these things so we have to address that we have to take note of that and not ignore it when priya comes to mina and she does not try to talk down to her or just gloss over things for her she shows her the reality she lets us see the city lockdown she lets or she takes or to the hospital where her mom or she sees armont struggle or very hard because i believe that if you tell children with an open honest heart of what the actual issue is then they will you know they will come up and show you that they can be strong for you and that's that's exactly what we

should trust them i think. to that. if you have using. losing comics is an absolutely great way we know the world over to communicate with the young specially the young and you know at a time when suddenly kids are not going to school anymore they were not getting mid-day meal. young girls are very anxious they didn't have access to so many things including menstrual hygiene the didn't have a bad as they were in going to school with that distributed. amongst the poor and the most marginalised in india which is the large majority of people do not have access to access to online schooling. they do not. fear of child marriage hunting young the images of these migrants and young kids walking

with their parents back or was equally hunting and finally you know. if you pull on me a little too out in the grounds. suddenly came to an end so you need mediums like per store entertain them along with education so it's great i would this is great entertainment education that we've seen in this comic farm and i like the opportunity bacon and the core writers to make a superhero females to play hero and that. has added gravely. and. for many of the girls i've seen one you see the hero but 2 super heroes and also one is

from so this is the this is the crossover of all time because one is from india female superhero another female superhero is from pakistan and then. up together and they're taking all coronavirus shubra people's heads must have exploded when they saw this because you are you're causing a disparity to booze and in our like a real superhero you're just smashing for them how did people react when that when they when they found that the career of a ninja and priya were through teaming up. i think everybody really heard and received positive feedback and when the us at least you know came to us and told us that we should work on something that addresses the pandemic with superhero they had already also been talking to the work of venture creators who we have known about because they started a little bit before korea journey started and this was the opportunity for us to

come together because if you really think about it at this point coronavirus doesn't see any differences or any barriers you know we were at a point when the leaders of any country was they were going to the hospital they were in fact it. didn't matter you're rich or poor white your religion as we are from you are battling this pandemic you're staring at it in the face and you're dealing with it so that that was the perfect opportunity for us to do so. i'm just wondering how. a tool like this. helps is where we are with india right now in terms of awareness in terms of fatigue about coronavirus those locked down for tea people who need to go out to work it's not just about being careful it's that they have to they they have to congregate together how. an educational tool like this which seems very simple a story about

a mad city and a couple of people here is how does it help. it does help when we go we actually when we talk about comics and stories it helps us to externalize our feelings it helps us to externalize you know give form to our struggle so when we talk about the struggle in the presence in that you know it helps us to gain an insight of the present situation it helps us to break so many defenses we learned about so much means misinformation that is going on which is a result of many of our defense macan isms like you know when we deny the experience that not all of that is no vitus so that because that experience us soil is ideal for walking to us that unconsciously we deny that experience so you know that a lot of defense mcgann isms that are broken down it helps him emotionally processing our feelings as well and it makes us struggle so much graspable so i would like to share with all if you were there you know i've recently done this activity with

daniel is very we created a whole number one still with people so that there's something where you are externalising your emotion which makes your emotions much more understandable so that seems like in the present situation when you read the comic your board and so much strength from free are right and you're able to look at solutions and we're focusing on beating resiliency up building out on strength and you know when you talk about children children are missing so many experiences when i talk to them that they need that eating that if and go get the running to the playground and you know sitting with their friends cycling in the park these are the small little experiences that the that have become the pleasures of life that they actually are missing. you want ringback to just to play an ounce of it's very catchy and it has images that we know really well with people who are a massive social distancing i'm going to play the little clip with the amps and you can tell us why you want to include you know discussions have

a look. it's really catchy and gives us how willing is that helpful to bring people up to speed with where we are with coronavirus in india right now. kernel number iris clampdown started in india we had already planned because we had in the space of changing some behavior so we started a campaign and it allies that giving information was not in there was a fierce eye courses that had been created huge anxiety not just among young people but people of all ages but young people particularly so we found so at one

point once the information and the education was out there by not just. make there were others but. we were very concerned about the high levels of anxiety being reported by the studies we had done for instance in 5 states 85 percent of the young girls said they needed they needed to go to a professional for help they were so anxious and so we decided to provide all something that gives people hope that something that relates to people of all ages gasbag grounds and you know giving them the hope that we will overcome we. we will stand together and fight the while. and that life would be normal again and

that if it is whole if there is a hole people will be able to. deal with this very unfortunate and uncertain situation and we knew what 2nd reason we did it is to be knew that this is a long haul that the uncertainty is going to continue for sometime. now of course we have more hope for the viruses coming and all still be new schools are not going to all for some time and they were all so eager. great examples that heroes and we want in fact my next one going to be to make one on an episode or. a comic p.s. comic i i think just sharing these experiences of all of creativity gives a lot to off comfort as well as psychologically people korean gregory

implied and encouraged to do creative things so this is not just about what some of us have done it is about bringing out the creative juices. it has been in the i wasn't just set that she said she see tunnels it's used to mean that you can bounce off the back of sachi so that she is. health and science and who she is in mumbai india 'd and she's talking about one of the biggest challenges in india right now is people being a little bit hesitant about the vaccines and and he got tons of great news at the king of the year that they were to approve zach scene so there is light at the end of the tunnel and people were a little with the thought about what may be coming next let's have a listen to such. we have. this information across all the little should we get

that forms and realize in india the coup when they did misinformation is not limited to what i suspect. as widely as. going to do i cities do need to legitimize the what did a good scientific inventions got in the e.u. or the vaccines in that one how the vaccine is such a hot spot intimation that isn't. vaccination misinformation. and social media. giving you an example of this would lead it is fake news suggesting that. says. it's a good day for this vaccine and it can be see the american beans big fat so the vaccines should not be taken middle of the 3 major in india. yeah this is really a surgeon and to mr. messina him a share everybody has an enormous ape you know he start them preparing lunch and so

missin misinformation all true of the coronavirus and unfortunately the misuse of sap has we call it walks up you know what city it's because of misinformation and. the end to higher media and each of us have a responsibility will be on the outside groups all of the media that hold that have a gives us black farms has to be very alert and they're jailed because this has caused us a lot of damage in terms of mental health. and wrong behavior spread of information and on the web scene one i think we should learn from our mistakes in the past and make sure that information is all would be inundating people with the right information and takeaway to take off the wrong information and this is not something this is

a responsibility that each individual has to take in support of the the media and. comes in and let me just bring in pre-amp here at the end of the show pm go ahead about that hazleton see and also misinformation being out. when i talk about the misinformation i think we are more afraid than we. unite also that is us in the comic and why it's because it we are scared because of the good or now it is and 2nd we are scared because we're scared to accept how we really should be and there are also some editors i'm not thinking that i really feel as to why it's happening so you know how we organize information how we perceive it has a lot to do with behavioral action and joyce's agree me so i feel like that awful biases that i have observed in the blue flush one is the. there the feel that we are more likely to expedience positive events than other people so we are less

likely to get good on our wires and maybe the board and the elderly are more likely to get it so that is the optimism bias the 2nd one is the bandwagon bias which is you know when we've align our own beliefs and behavior to other people so if we see that other people are not reading the mosque we will not read it so that this and that might be contradictory to what we believe contradictory evidence but so we still do it because we have this urge to belong and identify with a foot if you a group then also there's a minimization bias that i've seen in people who wear their minimizing the effect and the impact of the problem and then that is emotional reasoning like for no mention that there are lots of what's up messages that are coming so what happens is that if a whatsapp message comment comes about a treatment or a vaccination because i strongly feel that this is something that i should be doing

i do it not because i just don't know fact or an editor so warming is happening is that we need. all of the we out of there we need to check that is disco fact so we need to accept acknowledge our emotions as a way and you know we need to remember that precautions and prevention is just one thing that is untrue. yeah i didn't i'm just wanted to look at my laptop here one second to the end of shine i need to make sure that the whole world knows and everybody watching knows where to get 3 s. monson here my laptop is prius mosque a story by sugar for cash and coloring by sea to see me and need to kazim me for and. people need to go to find this series because it's really easy to get out of go ahead yes you can download the comic book for free at the dot com. and you can see all of the common books that we have on

that link you like also be able to see the short form that we've actually true that website and share it and download it and hopefully you'll be able to print them sometime in the future when it's ok to pass those around you so late it's only middle situation and i'm just. because i want to leave us with a little voice as you can say that piece of that saying let's go was a can do we had about 2 superheroes in history my entire race but i want to leave you with one they cast some tiny because she has a great day of wrapping up our entire conversation. coven 19 has been such a scary time for all of us around the world and so i hope that when watching as mask everybody sees that we are not in this alone. priya is a symbol of strength and courage especially during such a scary time for young people we've also done

a beautiful job of showing what our healthcare heroes do behind the scenes and the importance of wearing a mask so that we all stay healthy this is a time when all of us are coming together as one in humanity because covert 19 as we all know has no borders. thank you watching everybody. i care about how the u.s. engages with the rest of the world we're willing to fit in taking you into a place you might not visit otherwise feels that you were there.
