On Sunday, February 14, the first event with Masha and the Bear on the Belvedere shopping Mall Facebook page. Here's how it went.
Chronicle of a success story
The partnership between Animaccord and Soluna Eventi is beginning to bear fruit. The collaboration with Maurizio Distefano Licensing, agent of Masha and the Bear, proved to be a success during the first event.
In fact, in this period when attendance at shopping malls is limited due to the Pandemic, the new virtual entertainment format "My Social Playroom" has proven to be a winner because of its ability to entertain without creating crowds.
The first event with Masha and the Bear was held on Sunday, February 14. The Virtual Playroom was held through three appointments (3:00-3:30 p.m., 4:15-4:45 p.m., 5:30-6:00 p.m.) live on the shopping mall's Facebook page.
Live report
The kids, just following the live broadcast, had fun following the games of their favorites. Masha and Bear offered them interactive games and a special Carnival workshop.
The three My Social Playroom events proved to be irresistible, with the protagonists inviting the little ones to draw, cut out and create with them. In addition, engaging quizzes and, finally, live message reading.
In fact, the children had sent messages in advance to the Belvedere Commercial Park email box. For them, it was a great thrill to see their own message read right from Masha and Bear!
