In Johannesburg, South Africa from March 24th to the 28th, 2007  with the theme  Media as a Tool for Global Peace & Democracy.

The vision of the 5th World Summit on Media for Children is to produce a global and interactive conference to discuss and debate issues around children and media, with tangible, workable and sustainable outcomes. The extent of Africa’s media environment will be on show, but it will also be a World Summit relying on the spirit of ubuntu - "I am because you are" - to share global needs, situations and possibilities.   Visit the website at: www.5wsmc.com

"Media education does not aim to shield young people from the influence of the media, and thereby lead them to better things, but to enable them to make informed decisions on their own behalf."   – David Buckingham
