InfoK 25th Anniversary Conference: The Challenge of Informing Children in the Digital Environment

On 23 October at 9:30 a.m., the UAB and the Catalan Broadcasting Corporation will be hosting a conference in celebration of 25 years of the programme InfoK, under the title "El repte d’informar als infants en l’entorn digital" [The Challenge of Informing Children in the Digital Environment]. The conference will take place in the Aula Magna of the UAB Faculty of Communication Studies. To attend, one must register here. The event aims to reflect on and debate the way information is presented to children, as well as its educational aspect and the challenge facing the media in a context where screens define adolescent media consumption.

There will be three round-table discussions organised around the three aforementioned debate axes. Journalists affiliated with InfoK and researchers from across the country in information, childhood, education, outreach and psychology will take part. The opening address will be delivered by Lewis James, editor of the BBC's children's news programme “Newsround”.
