The Children's Pubcasters Meeting

For the first time, MIA introduces a high-level forum dedicated to children’s content in public broadcasting. This exclusive annual gathering brings together the leading European public broadcasters and commissioners specialized in kids' and animation content for a closed-door strategic exchange. The goal: to identify shared editorial priorities, stimulate co-development opportunities, and create stronger alignment across territories.

The session opens to the public with a round table offering an insider’s perspective on the collaborative projects discussed and highlighting future cross-border synergies to boost the circulation of original European content.
