Praise for ABU children's programme producers

The trainers at an ABU workshop on children's television programmes have praised the work of the programme producers who took part.

The Children's TV Programme Item-Exchange Meeting and Workshop was held in Kuala Lumpur on 7-12 July.

The trainers, Hiroko Sakaue of NHK, Bella Stjerne and Kalle Furst from the European Broadcasting Union and Karen Pringle of BBC, said they were happy with the quality of the programmes produced. 

Ms Pringle facilitating and attending the event for the very first time said she was in awe of how producers from different backgrounds had come together, breaching language barriers and culture, to work together for children. .

Thirty-five participants from 17 organisations in Asia and the Pacific took part in this year's event.

A total of 158 items were viewed and discussed, a third of which were non-Asian productions for children
