The initiative uses well-known Sesame Street characters (Elmo, his parents Louie and Mae, Grover and Cookie Monster), as well as characters from the co-productions the initiative is used in, including Bel (of Brazil's Vila Sésamo), Lola (Mexico's Plaza Sésamo), Chamki (India's Galli Galli Sim Sim) and Lily (China's Zhima Jie: Da Niao Kan Shijie). Online videos and games and produced in each country using the characters in the local language, which are then redubbed in for the other countries.
