World Summit on Media for Children and Youth - Karlstad, Sweden 2010

Hello all, I would like to inform you about this event and I hope to see you there!

World Summits are held every three years and provide a forum for producers, broadcasters and regulators of media for children and other professionals and community leaders committed to the improvement of quality media for children.

The Summit has travelled around world cities since 1995 when it started in Melbourne, Australia. Since then it has been in London, Thessaloniki, Rio de Janeiro and Johannesburg. Now it’s time for Scandinavia and Karlstad to host the World Summit.

The objectives of World Summit on Media for Children and Youth are:

- To achieve a greater understanding of developments in children’s media around the world.
- To raise the status of children’s media.
- To draw to the attention of key players in broadcasting the importance of issues relating to children.
- To promote a charter of guiding principles in children’s media.
- To ensure the provision of programs for children will be guaranteed as the communication revolution proceeds.
- To assist in the developing world to provide opportunities for quality children’s media in the future.
