UNICEF Celebrate International Day Of Children?s Broadcasting
UNICEF and the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences are asking broadcasters around the world to highlight sport as they celebrate this year?s International Children?s Day of Broadcasting (ICDB) on 11 December 2005.
In The Gambia, children from around the country will become producers, directors, presenters and performers and will be seen and heard by a broad national viewer- and listener-ship. GRTS and many radio stations will give control of their broadcasting capabilities to the children. UNICEF Representative in The Gambia, Mrs Cheryl Gregory Faye said, ? Sunday December 11th, is a day when children?s voices will be heard loudly and clearly and UNICEF encourages every adult to listen to them carefully.?
The power of sport as a tool for development and peaces is the theme of this year?s ICDB, the day when broadcasters throw open their studio doors and the airwaves to young producers and presenters globally.
With more than 2,000 broadcasters scheduled to take part, the vent will focus on how sport and games provide children and young people with opportunities to express themselves and to become agents for change in their own communities.
?Sport makes children?s lives better. Sport improves their health, teaches them important lessons about respect, leadership and equality? said UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, David Beckham. ?Every child has the right to play, regardless of gender or natural ability.?
Television and radio broadcasters continue to mark the International Children?s day of Broadcasting with distinctive and dynamic programming produced in their own countries.
For nearly 60 years UNICEF has been the world?s leader for children, working on the ground in 157 countries to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. The world?s largest provider of vaccines for poor countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.
