In collaboration with Eurochild, ISSA proudly presents "My Dad's Journey," an endearing animated short film that beautifully underscores the indispensable role fathers play in nurturing their children. Through tender portrayals of heartfelt moments, challenges, fears, and the sheer joy of fatherhood, the film highlights that men are often hard on themselves with respect to their role as father. Yet it is not perfection that young children value but closeness, meaningful relationships, and cherished time together. Through it all they are pivotal figures in children's lives.

In this way, "My Dad's Journey" poignantly emphasizes that fathers are equally as vital as mothers in parenting and early childhood development. Paternal involvement holds immense significance for the child and shapes relational dynamics within the family, carrying lifelong consequences for everyone involved.
