Much has happened in the production, distribution and consumption of film and media content for children and young audiences in the past years, both concerning the nature of the content produced and how this content reaches its intended audience. This conference investigates both historical and current aspects of a wide variety of productions for children and young audiences, focusing on film and television as well as content for social media and new platforms.

The conference marks the end of the Reaching Young Audiences project and – besides the two keynotes – there will be presentations by affiliated researchers and industry practitioners as well as papers submitted from a wide range of international scholars, offering perspectives from many European countries as well as India, New Zealand, Singapore and Thailand.

The conference requires in-person attendance.
