New output firm to put Kids First!

By Gregg Goldstein

Aug 21, 2007

NEW YORK -- Maitland Primrose Film Distribution is partnering with the Coalition for Quality Children's Media to create Kids First! Moving Pictures, a new theatrical and DVD division set to acquire and release children's films throughout North America.

The new label will release several of the films recommended by Kids First!, the coalition-owned organization that gives Good Housekeeping-style film endorsements for kids in discrete age brackets from 2-18. KFMP will also acquire some projects from the traveling Kids First! Film Festival, which partners with more than 100 different venues to host the nationwide event, along with other features not connected with the fest.

There will be several cross-promotional initiatives involving the various labels. Moving Pictures Magazine, which is owned and operated by MPFD parent company Maitland Primrose Group, will review many Kids First! titles throughout the year. MPG will also sponsor an award within the Kids First! Best Awards Celebration.

Later this year, MPG will introduce the monthly Kids First! Saturday Matinee at select theaters across the country. Short films and features will be shown to help create awareness of upcoming theatrical and DVD releases. Films released under the new label will be branded with "Kids First! Presents" or "Kids First! Moving Pictures Presents."

Rochdale girl to give Muslim youth a voice

22/ 8/2007

A Rochdale student is to set up and chair the town's first Young Muslim Advisory Panel after taking part in a two-week intensive leadership programme.

Atifa Shah, a former member of the UK Youth Parliament, hopes the panel, which is being supported by her local MP, Paul Rowen, will give young Muslims a platform to have their say on local issues and problems affecting them.

Said Atifa, who is studying management and computing at Manchester University: "I was one of two people in the northwest to be invited onto this leadership programme held at Oxford University to gain skills in becoming a future leader.

"I learnt so much on this trip and now I want to utilise my skills by doing something for the Muslim youth in my own town and giving them the chance to have their say."

NEWS: Broadband revolutionises education (MALDIVES)

Broadband revolutionises education

AFP

17 August, 2007

 

The standard of education was falling in the Maldives before broadband Internet access brought a quiet online revolution to classrooms in the Indian Ocean atoll nation.

Now Asina Ahmed hooks up to the Internet and uses a smart board with a touch-sensitive screen to liven up a maths class for a group of young Maldivian children on remote Rashdoo Island.

Ahmed invites eight-year-old Aishath Zayba Ismail to count the number of cherries in a fruit basket. Ismail approaches the board, places her hand over the images and glides each cherry across the white board.

With a special pen she scribbles "four cherries" on the screen.

Before the smart board arrived, there was no interactive learning in Rashdoo Island, 60km west of the capital island Male.

Broadband connectivity across the atolls has enabled interactive learning methods like the smart board to take off, putting the fun back into classrooms and encouraging children's communications skills.

"The smart board has made me a child-friendly teacher. The lessons are e-mailed each day and I can use the Internet to show children little things like how a cherry tree farm looks like, unlike a photograph in a text book," Ahmed said.

Literacy rates in this Indian Ocean archipelago exceed 90 percent, with nearly all children receiving some form of primary education, but the quality of teaching remains low, partly due to the low skills of the teachers themselves.

Home to 300,000 Sunni Muslims, some 70 percent of the population live on islands far from the capital.

The UN Children's Fund Unicef estimates that more than 30 percent of Maldivian teachers are untrained with many islands having up to 100 pupils per trained primary teacher.

"It's down to basics. Transport is costly making it expensive for children to travel between islands to get a better education and for teachers to upgrade their skills," said Unicef representative for the Maldives, Ken Maskall.

Media: Young People Now joins with sister title to widen coverage

 

By Charlotte Goddard - 15/08/07

Young People Now is set to expand its coverage of the youth agenda by merging with sister title Children Now next month.

The merged title, Children & Young People Now, will place youth work in the context of wider work with children and young people by covering social care, health, education and childcare alongside youth work and youth justice. Subscribers to the weekly will also benefit from a free monthly title, Youth Work Now, dedicated to the youth work profession.

Ravi Chandiramani, editor of Young People Now, said the merger aimed to mirror existing developments in local and national policy. "Increasingly youth services are working with other services such as education, health and social care, whether in the context of youth justice, extended schools, or looked-after young people and care leavers," he said.

RESEARCH / STUDIES: Eurobarometer on Safer Internet for Children: qualitative study 2007

Eurobarometer on Safer Internet for Children: qualitative study 2007

In a pan-European qualitative study covering 29 European countries, children of 9-10 and 12-14 years old were interviewed in-depth about their use of online technologies, like the Internet and mobile phones, and how they see and deal with risks.

This study was commissioned by the Directorate-General Information Society and Media and was carried out by OPTEM and its European partners. This study covers 29 countries (the 27 Member States, as well as Iceland and Norway) and it involves children of 9-10 and 12-14 years.

It aims at improving knowledge about :

• Internet usage by children, as well as mobile phone usage (by those who own a mobile phone)

• Their on-line behaviour

• Their perceptions of risk and safety related questions

The results of the study are to be used to contribute to designing the Safer Internet Programme, and to increase the impact of awareness building actions.

TV / REGULATIONS / ADVERTISING: Nickelodeon sets junk food limits on TV characters

Nickelodeon sets junk food limits on TV characters

Thu Aug 16, 2007 4:56AM EDT

NEW YORK, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Viacom Inc's children's television network Nickelodeon will limit use of its licensed characters on food packaging for products that do not meet certain health criteria.

Nickelodeon's announcement comes after some of America's largest food and drink companies, including McDonald's Corp, the Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo Inc, last month said they would put stricter controls on advertising aimed at children under 12. Nickelodeon said its policy will become effective with new licensing agreements in January 2009, according to a letter on Wednesday from president Cyma Zarghami to Rep. Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat and chairman of the House telecommunications committee.

Markey last month called on media companies to join food and drink companies in adopting more responsible food marketing to help address childhood obesity.

OPPORTUNITIES: "The European Union and non-discrimination": Commission launches competition open to all young people in EU

"The European Union and non-discrimination": Commission launches competition open to all young people in EU

"The European Union and non-discrimination" is the title of a competition launched today, 30 July 2007, in the middle of the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All, by Franco Frattini, Vice-President of the European Commission with responsibility for justice, freedom and security. European children and teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18 are invited to design a poster on non-discrimination in the EU. The aim of the competition is to raise awareness among young Europeans of the work being done by the EU in this field.

"Abolishing discrimination and ensuring equal treatment and equal opportunities for EU citizens and residents, particularly the youngest among them, are objectives common to the European Union and its Member States. By saying NO TO DISCRIMINATION, we are reaffirming one of the fundamental values of Europe. This is a battle we have to fight every single day", Vice-President Frattini declared. "This is why", he continued, "as part of this competition and at a time when the European Union is celebrating its 50^th birthday, I am encouraging young people to work together in teams on the theme of non-discrimination, so that they are better equipped to defend and promote this principle".

Those wishing to take part in the competition will have to design a poster illustrating the idea of non-discrimination in the European Union. Participants will be divided into two age categories (12-14 and 15-18) and must work in groups of at least four.

The entries will be judged first at national level, and prizes will be awarded to the three best teams in each age category at ceremonies to be held in each country on 20 November, International Children's Rights Day.

The winners of the first prize in the national competition will compete in a second round at European level. The three top teams in each age group will be invited to visit Brussels from 15 to 17 December for a tour of the city and the European institutions and to attend a European award ceremony hosted by Vice-President Frattini.

The best posters will be displayed on the websites of the Commission's representations in the Member States and on the Europa server. They may also be used in future European anti-discrimination campaigns.

This initiative is particularly timely given that, as mentioned before, the European Commission has declared 2007 the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All. It is also in keeping with the Commission's anti-discrimination policy and its determination to integrate this into all of its internal and external policies.
Further information may be found on the site
www.europayouth.eu
which contains links to the competition site.
This new competition follows one organised earlier this year on the theme of children's rights. No fewer than 2 237 teams from all over the EU took up the challenge under the heading "Speak up for your rights!" and submitted designs for a poster on the rights of the child. The best of these, which can be found on the Internet site at
http://ec.europa.eu/commission_barroso/frattini/children/children_2006_en.htm#national

might also be used in future European campaigns.

NEWS / INTERNET / STUDIES: Europe-wide children's survey shows need for internet safety

Europe-wide children's survey shows need for internet safety

Published: Friday 10 August 2007 | 01:54 PMCET

A Europe-wide survey of children has confirmed the need for proactive online media education, says the European Commission. Eurobarometer, the Commission's research unit, interviewed 9-10-year-olds and 12-14-year-olds from all 27 EU-member states plus Norway and Iceland. Researchers asked children about their use of online technologies and how they would react to problems and risks when using the internet and mobile phones. Overall children are aware of risks from the internet and mobile phones – security, viruses, access to unwanted content, identity theft and potentially dangerous contact with strangers. However, some children admitted having taken risks online, including arranging to meet strangers, and said their parents would be the last people they would contact in case of worries online. The Commission said the survey would help it "refine" the EU's Safer Internet programme.

OPINIONS: Don't blame advertisers for our children's problems

Don't blame advertisers for our children's problems

Far from corrupting the young, our industry is helping to educate them, says Marina Palomba

Thursday August 9, 2007
The Guardian

Helen Pidd's article implied throughout that advertisers are complicit in seeking ways to circumvent the latest strict rules on the content of advertising targeted at children (We are coming for your children, July 31). Having attended a marketing conference about advertising to children, Pidd states that "brands are using [new techniques] to work 'creatively' with the law", and reports advertisers joking about going back "to the good old days" when companies could run TV campaigns such as "Don't forget the fruit gums, mum". When these commercials were aired, though, Britain did not have an obesity problem. Today these adverts are prevented from appearing around any children's programmes.

New media helps children's services

writes Anabel Unity Sale

Social networks aid fight against abuse

In May, the NSPCC launched an eight-week communications campaign to encourage children and young people experiencing all forms of abuse to speak out.

Using its dedicated website, www.donthideit.com, the children's charity highlighted a series of case studies based on children's experiences of abuse but concealing their identities by using the voices of actors and actresses. It offered solutions for those in similar positions, and provided the number for Childline as well as details of what might happen if they do speak out.

Originally created in May 2006, the site focused on childrene xperiencing sexual abuse. But this year the charity decided to expand that to incorporate all forms of abuse.

NEWS / INTERNET: China tackles youth internet addiction

China tackles youth internet addiction

BUSINESS GAZETTEER

CHINA is launching an experimental summer camp for 40 youngsters to try to wean them off "internet addiction". The ten-day programme will accept 14-22 year olds once they had undergone a psychological test and evaluation.

About 2.6 million - or 13 per cent - of the country's 20 million internet users under 18 are now classed as addicts, state media has reported. The youngsters at the summer camp will be treated for depression, fear, unwillingness to interact with others, panic and agitation. It's a rather softer option than the Internet Addiction Treatment Centre near Beijing, which uses a blend of therapy and military drills to treat children addicted to online games, porn and cybersex.

Teaching technology growing in importance

 

BY BEN FISCHER | BFISCHER@ENQUIRER.COM

Despite the near ubiquity of personal computers and digital media in children's lives, formal education in how to create, develop and use those tools is badly lacking, says Glennetta Krause, the lead teacher at the Hughes Center Teaching & Technology program.

But that will change soon, she says, and that's why the Hughes Center includes computer technology training as a critical part of preparing the next generation of classroom teachers.

"We're one of the only programs in the district, and probably in the state, for students where every day of their careers they have a technology class," Krause said.

Wai'anae video venture seeded with area youth

WAI'ANAE - A vision born in a Wai'anae High School classroom is quickly
taking root in a fledgling video production and multimedia design company
housed in Makaha's old Coronet Building and built around a nucleus of
fresh-faced technicians in their teens and early 20s.

Makaha Studios has no "studio," and not even enough paint to complete
interior renovations of the former real estate office turned production
facility.
Yet in just eight months the for-profit start-up - the offshoot of a
phenomenally successful high school media education program - has attracted
so much interest that it is booked through December to produce, shoot or
edit commercials, promotional videos and public service announcements for
clients ranging from local businesses to television stations and government
agencies.

But Makaha Studios' greatest potential may lie in what it could mean to the
area's young people.

AWARDS: Media awars winners praised (IRELAND)

Media awars winners praised

YOUNG students and aspiring journalists gathered at Collins Barracks in Dublin last Friday for the presentation of the 2007 'Let's Talk About Drugs' Media Awards. The awards are organised by the Greater Blanchards­town Response to Drugs (GBRD) and Dublin radio station, Phantom 105.2, joined Northside People as this year's partners in the competition. Now in its second year, 'Let's Talk About Drugs' encourages the public discussion of drug-related issues by inviting secondary school students and aspiring journalists to write or record a feature about drugs. The two themes in this year's competition were: 'Cocaine – what's the harm?' and 'Drugs – time for new tactics?'. At last week's presentation event, 13-year-old Miceala Murray (Temple­ogue) and 15-year-old Leanne Ryan (Tallaght) were awarded prizes in the Youth Print Category. Mathew Culleton (Dublin 1) and Moira Burke (Dublin 17) were awarded prizes in the Adult Print Category. The Youth Broadcast prize was won by Youghal Youth Project (East Cork) while St John Bosco Youth Club (Drimnagh) collected the GBRD Endeavour Award.
