World Summit on Media for Children and Youth

Towards a new global vision for children, youth and media - challanges in young people's world of communication

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 media is a great part of the lives of children and youth. But what are children doing with the media? And what are the media doing with the children? World Summit Karlstad gathers the foremost experts and inspirers to accept the challenges that are ahead of us: educators, researchers, journalists, producers and distributors. A vision of a better world for children and youth is needed: the conference will try to translate words into deeds – towards a new global vision for children, youth and media.
