New dates for the World Summit on Media for Children

Dear colleagues,

Greetings from ABU! I hope that you, along with your family and colleagues, stay safe and healthy.

I am writing to inform you that given the continued developments and restrictions imposed on all of us by COVID-19, the ABU, in consultation with hosts TVRI and the WSMC Foundation, have set new dates for the Global Children's Media Summit (GSMC ). The Summit will take place on December 9-11, 2020 in Jakarta, Indonesia.

While we are all experiencing a lot of changes and uncertainties right now, we believe early December is early enough to have a very good chance of the current global movement restrictions easing. So please put the new dates in your journals and plan to join us in Jakarta for this important Children's Media initiative.

I am very confident that our members and industry partners involved in children's media will be looking forward to the opportunity to come together not only to put this challenging period behind us, but also to reconnect with each other personally and professionally.
