Per Lundgren is the director of the Karlstad 2010 Summit organisation. In an interview to RIO MEDIA, Per says that the Summit 2010 central theme is Challenges in the world of young people’s communication.
“And we have divided this great area into five main perspectives, or strands, using as guidelines the questions following: Communication for change; Children’s (young people) education and development; Ethics and social responsibilities; Economics, policies and laws; and Children and young people’s digital content creation.
Per says that the organisation has been preparing the event since the inspiring Rio de Janeiro summit in 2004. He says that the summit will bring together 2000 delegates from 100 countries preparing with children and youth for a new media world in the 21st century.

Per Lundgren - First of all, we have been preparing for the event since the inspiring Rio de Janeiro Summit in 2004. We have had numerous meetings in different locations globally to listen and discuss to understand the different perspectives and we are in full understanding about the respect for cultural differences, that needs to be taken into consideration, best done by inviting organisations and individuals to present how they want to contribute and what they think needs to be presented in 2010.
In September last year the World Summit Foundation came to Karlstad to plan with the Karlstad Steering Group and we continue to have an ongoing dialogue on all issues with the Board. We are inviting a large number of people internationally, to join an Advisory Reference Group to suggest topics, starting in March, based on the central theme and the selected strands for the Summit. In March, we are releasing the first newsletter to reach thousands of organisations and key people all over the world, to update them on our preparations and inspire them to start planning and preparing for Karlstad 2010.
