Gookapi Sociedad Limitada and Your Family Entertainment AG join forces to promote European storytelling

Bilbao / Munich, June 23rd 2026 – Gookapi Sociedad Limitada (Gookapi) and Your Family Entertainment AG (YFE) announce their collaboration on YFE’s distribution of Gookapi’s television series 'Liz’ Creative Workshop', 'Ezki the Storyteller' and 'Mithy the Explorer'; all produced by established Basque production company Baleuko.

The company has built an impressive portfolio that combines imagination, education and entertainment in a truly European spirit. We are proud to work alongside Marianela Gomis and her team to help these productions reach additional international audiences,” said Klaus Forch, Authorized Signatory of Your Family Entertainment AG.

The agreement underlines the commitment of both companies to support European creators and strengthen the presence of European children’s programming in the global marketplace.
