Live action TV programmes for children are essential for public service media. These programmes often feature relatable characters and situations in real-world settings, promoting important social and educational themes while also being entertaining.

What are the trends and challenges in live action content for kids? During this 90 minutes special session, you will hear about the following case studies:

  • NRK: “Bablo” and “Rykter (Rumours)”  – Joakim Vedeler, Head of Children’s Content Strategy (NRK) and Christoffer V. Ebbesen, Showrunner.
  • VRPO: “Timmyland” – Juliette van Paridon – Editor in Chief (VPRO)
  • BBC: “The Worst Witch” + "A Kind of Spark". – Sarah Muller, Senior Head of Children’s Commissioning (BBC)
  • Rai: “The Chronicles of Nanaria” – Luca Milano, Director of Rai Kids (Rai)

We will also leave some time to discuss Members' live action strategies and trends. Register now to join us on 9 June!
