World experts on children and media
will lead two days of panel discussions and workshops next month when Asia
hosts its first ever World Summit on Media for Children.
The 7th WSMC with the theme Media for
21st Century Children will take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,
from 8-10 September 2014.
Organised by the ABU and the WSMC
Foundation and hosted by Radio Television Malaysia (RTM), organisers expect
more than 1,000 producers, broadcasters, media regulators, educators and
community leaders committed to the improvement of quality media for children.
The summit will provide unique
opportunities for networking, debates and workshops on content for program
creators, educators, policy makers, digital media innovators and people working
in the field of childhood development.
It will celebrate children’s creativity
and development through media and will focus on quality content and the role
and meaning of education in a globalised modern media environment.
It will also be a chance for media
professionals to see how children see the media, use technologies and envisage
their future. The summit will culminate in a Charter of Guiding Principles for
children’s media.
More information and registration can
be obtained at the Summit website.
