When I first started, "Flora's Room" was my attempt to create a TV show for kids. I worked on the project from 2012 until 2015. The main concept of the first season was to turn the room where the protagonist had just moved in into the place of her dreams (I started it when I had just moved from Sardinia to London). The project aimed to develop creativity, fantasy, to have fun, avoid boredom, and to learn how to feel comfortable with a new place and a new situation (which many children today have to face, for many reasons: parents jobs, divorces, etc. – moving and changing has become quite usual).
The first live episode of the project was filmed during a village fair in Sardinia (Italy). The event was run together with the organization "Zampaverde" (Pro Loco Arbus). The concept of the second season of "Flora's Room" (Flora's Room: The Window) was to build a superhero costume that reflected the child’s personality. The charity organizations supported by the project were: Children with Cancer UK, Love is Louder, EMERGENCY, WWF, Greenpeace, and NEVER GIVE UP.
