“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J R R Tolkin
Superheroes are not born only in the imagination of their creators, but are the result of the context in which they are born. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America were born in the late 30's early 40's, in a tumultuous period for America and the world. Now, as then, humanity is going through hard times. We know that these are the conditions conducive for the appearance of superheroes. With their super powers Superheroes help us to cross more easily the hardships that we all feel.
AllGrow challenged Romanian students to build their own superhero costume with surrounding objects that they would otherwise throw away, and then tell us what their superpowers are by sharing their video with the whole world using #allgrowchallenge hashtag. This is how over 100 videos of beautiful superheroes were gathered and posted on the superheroes wall of fame (https://www.allgrowromania.org/super-heroes)
In their videos we could see famose superheroes on Romanian mioritic lands, such as Batman, Zorro, Spiderman, Superman, SuperGirl as well as new superheroes like Super Doctor, Inventus, Recycler, Spring Fairy, Water Fairy and many others. Our superheroes send us a message of hope, healing, joy and color. They expressed themselves through songs, rhymes, drawings and lots of creativity in making their costumes, videos and messages.
Our superheroes want to protect our health, our planet and our families in times of pandemic and beyond.
If you liked superheroes, we invite you to see them in the Superheroes Gallery!
The challenge continues! I can! Now you can too!
