Media & Children 5th World Summit
Brief to Speakers & Facilitators
SUMMIT DAY 4
SUMMIT DAY 4
28 MARCH- (WEDNESDAY)
THEME: Celebrating Children’s Media- Achievements
Worldwide children watch more television and films than adults. But owing to funding imperatives, production and programming tend to appeal more to adults than children. Yet investors know that commercials that target children can also reap lucrative returns. Moreover, today’s listening and viewing child is tomorrow’s paying and buying parent. Children’s programmes thus constitute a worthy investment for production houses. The Summit will explore some success stories in children’s programmes as models of excellence as well as strategies to enhance children’s media. In addition, the Summit will look at ways and means to advance Summit resolutions with regard to the media as a tool for advancing global peace and enhancing participatory democracy. In the final analysis, it will be the children who will reconfigure the new parameters of our global citizenship.
