Building Bridges – European Children's Film in Focus

Join Anne Schultka, project manager at KIDS Regio, and Rikke Flodin, anthropologist and partner at Will&Agency, as they present key findings from the 2024 KIDS Regio Forum and the associated research project 'Keeping up with Children as an Audience'. Gathering the perspectives of 374 children across Europe, this research sheds light on what young audiences value and expect from film and media today. Rikke Flodin will translate these findings into ten practical questions to guide industry professionals in creating relevant content. Anne Schultka will link these to the results of the KIDS Regio Forum, which brought together over 60 experts from 25 European countries to develop new strategies for data sharing, advocacy and collaboration in support of children's films. In this session you will also get access to the comprehensive KIDS Regio publication, which documents both the results of the Forum and the research findings.
