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, the Ring Parable, in a child-friendly animated cartoon version in many languages.

In the light of Lessing's Nathan the Wise, we invite children worldwide to draw or craft their imagination of a ring that has the mysterious power to do good in the world:

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!
