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.
