BALANCE Edutainment (“BALANCE”) is an emerging thought-leadership platform for edutainment and transformational entertainment for youth.
We #Occupy Pop Culture with stories, music and games that engage children and families in activities with positive social impact during unstructured time. We bridge the digital world and the real world by meeting kids where they’re at which is on screens from 7-13.5 hours per day. We create pathways for youth to get active in their communities and we reward them for having fun while having positive social impact.
Pacha’s Pajamas
Our flagship initiative, Pacha’s Pajamas, is an urban fairy tale about an ordinary little girl, who through her dreams becomes a Superhero for Nature. The story teaches kids and families about our interdependence with Nature and cooperation. We reach mainstream audiences through their favorite TV and radio stations as well as innovative technology platforms and social media.
We are entering the market with a companion app to Pacha’s Pajamas called Nature Superhero, which rewards children for taking actions to improve their communities and environment. Through our Appackr campaign for Nature Superhero, you can learn about apps, support kid empowerment and earn a hefty return.
For kids and families that want to go deeper into pacha’s world, we have a series of products that constitute a transmedia pipeline of *nutritious* pop culture, including a children’s book, live show, and album featuring:
- Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def (Yo Gabba Gabba, The Boondocks, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe)
- Cheech Marin (The Lion King, Cars, Beverly Hills Chihuahua)
- Majora Carter (Peabody Award winning public-radio series The Promised Land)
- Talib Kweli (Black Star)
- Lyrics Born
- Lester Chambers
- Youth stars on the rise!
