Ramadan is the time of the year, when people are reminded about empathy, tolerance, humanity, unity and togetherness — values that are often forgotten in today’s world beset with prejudice, divisions and walls – both physical as well as emotional.
Babyshop has taken this thought forward. Together with its agency, FP7/McCann Dubai, the children’s retailer in the Middle East is inviting people across the region and the world to reconsider accepted thinking and behavior.
In an uncertain time, when the world around us remains divided, building walls between countries, families, neighbors, economic and social statuses, Babyshop is sharing a message of unity during the month of togetherness with the idea of exploring a ‘World Without Walls’.
A film on YouTube and Facebook is launching this idea. It follows the journey of a child making his way through an actual world without walls – from his room to his parents’ room to a luxurious Middle East home to a refugee tent to a South Asian home to an old people’s nursing home and finally, to an orphanage and beyond.
Through the film, Babyshop is encouraging people across the region to share the message of a #WorldWithoutWalls. The brand is also implementing in-store activities, on-ground initiatives, social content as well as a co-creative social media activation to bring #WorldWithoutWalls to people around the region, and around the world too.
