Plus63 Design Co., together with Plus Arts (Japan), Ruttikorn Vittikorn (Thailand) and Japan Foundation Inc in Manila collaborated and worked on Move Philippines, a disaster preparedness program for kids. It's a localized version (and more) of the Iza Kaeru program by Plus Arts from Japan.
The pilot program was done in Cagayan De Oro with the survivors of Typhoon Sendong as participants and collaborators.

Meet Mon and Tara. The logo we made for Move Philippines features Tara, the tarsier, and Mon, the monkey. The decision to use these two animals was the result of the consultation with student and teacher volunteers.
We worked with illustrator Monica Esquivel for the project. We're happy to get to work with Monica on this project, since she used to be an intern in the studio.

Research and Ideation. In Cagayan de Oro, we consulted with teachers and volunteers about their previous research, and discussed the program of games/activities. We also talked about how design and brand identity can help different causes.
We created the bandana design to serve as a kind of uniform for the games' participants. The Mon bandana was used by the volunteers and facilitators, while the red ones were for the students.
Graphic design & illustration played a role in the success of the program. Participants were more engaged and attentive. Learning was much more fun for everyone. It's always a nice feeling to work with clients who value good design.
Printed materials of the games developed for the program.
Half of the games were localized versions of Japan's Iza Kaeru program, while half were original games developed with the volunteers. We worked with writer Isa Geganto for the naming. There was a total of 8 games for the program.
Cards of Course helps the participants remember various steps in creating useful objects when disaster happens.
Ready, Raise, Race educates the participants on the different materials that are useful in every disaster.
Connect the Objects is a connecting/matching game that educates the students on the important objects/things they need to have with them when disaster strikes.
Tale of the Prepared is a quiz game that tests a person's in the event of a calamity.
The Mat That Matters teaches the kids the proper way of transporting an injured survivor of disasters.
Walk Don't Waddle simulates the experience of people navigating through a flood.
We handed out passports to the students to track their progress.
Japan Foundation Inc. is implementing Move Philippines in other cities around the Philippines.
