New Audiences, New Demands: Part 1
Formats, storytelling and visual language shifting beyond traditional TV.
This session explores how public media can reach younger audiences by adopting new narrative forms, platform-native storytelling and contemporary visual languages.

Working Together
Putting the co(mplicated) in co-producing.
Working together is more crucial than ever in public media. It can help you finance programmes, reach a broader audience, and diversify the stories you tell.

Whose Side Are You on?
Fiction as a discussion piece on confronting social issues.
Drama can be such a good conversation piece, and sometimes even the best way to put an issue on the map. But, how to lure your audience into not only watching, but also make them stay tuned and even keep on debating afterwards?

OMG - How Far Can We Go?
Just when you think you’ve seen it all… Viewers discretion is advised!
The public service is often being accused of being old fashioned and playing it safe. If we’re willing to push our limits, it’s challenging to decide how far to go.

Forgotten National Histories 
Fact, fiction or a mix of both? In an era dominated by major world conflicts, we are often unaware of important and key moments in the past that have contributed to the dynamics of today’s society.

Home Is Where the Heart Is?
Love loss and the lingering echos of origins. This session presents two deeply cinematic programmes linked by a shared quest to reconcile with the past.

New Audiences, New Demands: Part 2
Formats, storytelling and visual language shifting beyond traditional TV.
