[ecrea] Next World Summit on Media for Children and Youth - Karlstad Sweden 2010

Tue Jan 19 12:18:08 GMT 2010



Next World Summit on Media for Children and Youth is hosted by the city
of Karlstad in Sweden 2010. The programme introduces more than 100
sessions with a focus on children, youth and media. International well
known experts and researchers will present keynote speeches, panels,
round table discussions, seminars and workshops.

The International Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media at
NORDICOM, University of Gothenburg, organizes four special sessions of a
Research Forum in co-operation with the Summit. The aim of each Forum is
to provide a space for knowledge and dialogue between the different
groups of delegates at the Summit and for researchers to reach out to
interested parties in and outside the research community - teachers,
media professionals, decision makers, regulators, etc.

The Research Forum will be introduced in a Plenary Session where current
research on children, youth and media is presented by well reputed
scholars from the international research community. There will also be
Poster Sessions where researchers attending the event can present
findings from their recent and on-going projects.

All the presentations given in the four sessions of the Research Forum
will be published in the Yearbook 2011 of the International
Clearinghouse of Children, Youth and Media at Nordicom.

This Research Forum is a very real opportunity to contribute to the
international discussion on the increasingly important issue of young
people and media in the world.  Multilateral solutions to vital global
issues are more essential than ever in the age of rapid digitization.
Several of these have a strong media and communication component - not
least issues regarding children and media. Issues that touch on vital
democratic values.

The Research Forum programme is enclosed and for further information see

Best regards,

Ulla C.
