ABU holds 20th Children’s Theatre Co-production Conference
On July 30, 2024, the ABU Programme Department held the 20th Children’s Drama Co-production Virtual Conference, which was attended by producers from India, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei and Japan, while producers from Iran, Turkey, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka were unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts.
The meeting focused on reviewing the progress of ongoing projects and hearing updates from NHK Executive Producer Kazuhiro Motoki. Discussions focused on project status and potential improvements, with plans for the next online meeting in January 2025 and a face-to-face meeting in Kuala Lumpur from 22 to 24 April 2025.
The Asian Broadcasting Union Children’s Drama Co-production, now in its 20th year, is a major initiative carried out in partnership with NHK and the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union.
The annual program aims to empower producers to create engaging, cross-culturally resonant children’s stories, following the principle of “make one, take all”. Each participant receives and broadcasts all the episodes produced by others, thus promoting a rich exchange of cultural narratives and maintaining a high standard of international children’s programming.
