Top Names preparing for World Summit in Sweden
With almost two years to go, the preparations for Karlstad and Sweden and World Summit 2010 has begun world wide among teachers and media pedagogs, researchers and media professionals, youth organisations and international organisations working for childrens well-being. In early August 2008, almost 200 proposals for topics and activities from 50 countries from five continents, have reached the Summit office in Karlstad. Among those having confirmed their strong interest in coming to Karlstad as keynote speakers are Renee Hobbs (Professor at Temple University in Philadelphia USA), David Buckingham (Professor at University of London UK) and Jordi Torrent (Project Manager at United Nations Alliance of Civilizations New York City). We thank the Advisory Reference Group of 100 people for their great support during this spring.
