Dimoitou

The program's main character, a fuzzy turquoise puppet which looked like a man with long tenticular arms and yellow eyes, could be operated by teachers and came with activity books, pre-recorded cassette tapes and other paraphernalia.

The usage of Dimoitou ceased in the early 2000s, but the program later developed a cult following after a local man, Jordan Verner, began an internet campaign to request Dimoitou-related items and historical artifacts.

Rhythmic, repetitive written materials (similar to nursery rhymes) are used to introduce and reinforce basic vocabulary, and to support oral learning with opportunities to also read French.

A visually-impaired local man, Jordan Verner, recalled that his own childhood had been difficult, as he faced ableism and segregation in school, and that listening to the Dimoitou music cassettes had always made him happy.

Verner began an online campaign to find any paraphinalia relating to the program, utilizing Reddit and other social media platforms to conduct his search.
