Nathan the Wise worldwide in 2029

Hi! 2029 will be a special year. It's the 300th birthday of one of the most influential thinkers in Europe, furthermore, it's the 250th jubilee of one of his most influential publications (“Nathan the Wise” , 1779). His name is Lessing. He advocated for equality, tolerance, and freedom.

Nathan.world will be a project for children worldwide telling the centrepiece of his “Nathan” in a child-friendly animated cartoon version in many languages.

Therefore I need your help:

Do you know someone, who could create a translation of the little text in whatever language in a child-friendly way? (not even two pages - later, for the final version, maybe a well-known author in your country...)
Do you know someone, who could test it with her/his children? (maybe a primary school teacher, for feedback like: how did the children react | what were their questions | any tricky words/parts | did they do drawings/photos of the drawings...)
Do you know someone, who has a beautiful voice and might be able to record an audio version of the final script at a later stage?

If so, please get in touch! Further details & project description:
