World Summit on Media

Right now the world has found reasons be in the City of Karlstad. A city with about 85, 000 inhabitants is host to the 6th World Summit on Media for Children and CGN is ably represented by Ms. Omolola and Aunty Funmi.

Below you’d find links to the summit which brings together producers of media for young people and young people who participate in media. Interesting!

So come with us to the WSMCY2010. And have a sneak preview into what many media folks are doing: Mighty Creatives, Refugee Journalists, WSKNN, World Kids News, Peace Revolution, UK Youth Media and the Karlstad Youth Council.

Enjoy!

On your marks…

It is only a couple of days to the 6th World Summit on Media for Children & Youth!

We are excited because Nigeria is going to Karlstad!

We are putting things together for our participation. While we are still trying to raise funds to increase the number of participants, we have posted some of our discussion and comments from respondents on the summit project we are doing on this blog. Please add your voice by posting a comment here.

We have completed a 2-page story on “The Youth and the Media” written by one of our team members to be published in the next edition of Willows Magazine (for young people). Join our Willows Magazine Facebook group. The article has been posted on the group page.

We are also putting together a story to be featured by one of our team members in a major Nigerian Newspaper; Vanguard. We would be having a Press Briefing next week and we are looking at partnering with television stations for interviews and briefings. Feel free to let us know what you are doing and how else we can actively participate and bring about a media that is appropriate and adequate for young people.
