Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, hosts the 7th
World Summit on Media for Children in September 2014, the first time the global
summit on media in the development, education and wellbeing of children is
taking place in Asia.
The Summit is organised by the
Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) and the World Summit on Media for
Children Foundation and hosted by Radio Television Malaysia (RTM). The
organisers expect more than 2,000 producers, broadcasters, media regulators,
educators and community leaders committed to the improvement of quality media
for children.
The World Summit in Kuala Lumpur aims
to achieve a greater understanding of developments in children’s media around
the world and to raise the status of children’s programming and draw to the
attention of key people in production and distribution the importance of issues
relating to children and young people.
The Summit will culminate with a Charter
of Guiding Principles for children’s media and assist in providing
opportunities for quality children’s programming in the future.
The Summit will provide unique
opportunities for networking, debates and workshops on content creation. 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.
If you are a content creator, educator,
policy maker, digital media creator or someone working in the field of
childhood development with an interest in their media, this Summit is for you.
