Dear Colleagues
If you are interested in issues around
children’s screen content and forced migration, please can I draw your attention to our third Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) report on
Children’s Screen Content in an Era of Forced Migration: Facilitating Arab-European Dialogue – Drama, Storytelling, Empathy
You can download it here. The report is based on a Workshop held at the Prix Jeunesse International , Munich on 24th
May 2018. On our project website you
can also find our first
report from the Manchester Children’s Global Media Summit (December 2017), and our second
report from the CPH:Dox festival in Copenhagen on documentaries, distribution and ethics (March 2018).
We’d also like to tell you about our end of project symposium
“Invisible Children: Children’s Media, Diversity, and Forced Migration” on 14th September 2018 from 10:30-17:15 at King’s
College London. The programme is available

Trust, the Public Media Alliance, World Summit on Media for Children, Public Media Alliance) and academia. The event is free and includes lunch. As places are limited, attendance is by invitation only. We have only a few places left, so please let Dr Christine
Singer ([log in to unmask]) know as soon as possible if you would like to attend.
