International conference



Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum 2012



Culture. Education. Media.

Shaping a sustainable world



Approximately 850 million people around the world are illiterate, most 
of them in crisis regions and war zones.



In 2002, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution to 
declare the ten-year period from 2005-2014 the Decade of Education for 
Sustainable Development. It is increasingly evident that education, 
culture and upbringing form the key to peaceful  co-existence and a 
sustainable future.



The 2012 Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum will examine   the role and 
responsibility of the media with their images and   messages. How can 
media contribute constructively to cultural   diversity? How can they 
serve to enhance awareness of the essential importance of education for 
sustainable development? Can media themselves carry out educational 
activities? Do they serve as a role model for presenting and conveying 
educational content?



The conference is divided into the following subject areas:



    *
      Right to education and Education For All (EFA)
    *
      Preserving and advancing cultural diversity / World Heritage
    *
      Political culture and intercultural dialogue
    *
      Education for sustainability (cultural, economic, political, social)
    *
      New approaches to learning (E-learning, social media etc.)
    *
      Media and education – What can the media contribute?



The Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum is a congress with international 
reach. It draws media representatives from around the world – including 
many of Deutsche Welle’s partners – and people   from the fields of 
politics, culture, business, development cooperation and science. About 
1600 participants from more than 100 countries attended  the conference 
in 2011.
