BRICS Solution Awards

Animated series "Tugan Batyr"

Problem and implemented solution

Revival and popularization of the image of a noble, strong-willed son and defender of his people - batyr. Strengthening the connecting threads of the entire nation and each family by introducing children and youth to the original national values ​​and traditions. Instilling in the younger generation respect for elders, interest in their life path and experience. Preservation of the native language and rich national culture. Tugan in translation from Tatar and many Turkic languages ​​means "native", and Tugan Batyr will become their own and native to many peoples. Two books about the adventures of Tugan Batyr based on the folklore of Tatarstan have already been published. Currently, the third book is being prepared for release, where Tugan Batyr is already traveling around Turkey and made friends with the heroes of Turkish fairy tales. Projects are being developed with a combination of fairy tale motifs from other countries. TUGAN BATYR is not a superman, he is an ordinary young man with pure thoughts and noble aspirations. He is a native hero - the embodiment of a real man, a caring son, a kind brother, a loyal friend. He maintains contact with his family and thanks to this he achieves success in life. The hero's superpower lies in following the 8 virtues of the Tatar people: kindness, compassion, tolerance, faith in God, generosity, justice, loyalty and devotion to the Motherland. All of them are symbolically embodied in the emblem of the Tugan Batyr project - an eight-pointed star. Thanks to following the precepts of his ancestors, the young man triumphs over evil, debunks false ideals: greed, avarice, rejection of family and national culture. We are creating a hero that will appeal to both children and adults. He unites generations at a high level of spiritual and moral values. Through a modern presentation, the story will connect times and show that a unique cultural code never disappears or changes.
