All students are welcome to follow the Program for Journalist Seminar (www.witbc2012.org) Sunday 25th, Monday 26th, Wednesday 27th and Thusday 28th.
The first World Indigenous Broadcaster Television Conference (WITBC) took place in Aotearoa - New Zealand by the initiative of the Māori Television 2008. The second conference was held in Taiwan in 2010 by the Public Television Service (PTS)/Taiwan Indigenous TV, TITV. Now the World Indigenous Television Broadcasters Network is planning the third conference in Sápmi hosted by NRK Sápmi, the indigenous Sámi division of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The aim of the network is to unify national indigenous television broadcasters worldwide, to retain and grow our indigenous languages and cultures. We hope WITBC 2012 will provide an ideal platform for interesting and stimulating discussions in addition to sharing knowledge about challenges of indigenous media. We are convinced that we will work together towards achieving these goals of WITBN.
HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco will come to Kautokeino, Norway March 25th and stay until 27th. On the occasion to discuss the future of circumpolar reindeer herding with indigenous youth, climate change and protection of the Arctic. He is going to
10 give a speech about Climate Change and Protection of the Arctic Tuesday morning March 27th. At this occasion also the biennial WITBC conference indigenous peoples and media workers around the world (www.WITBC2012.org) will come to Kautokeino, Norway to discuss the challenges facing indigenous media in a competitive and fast- growing media world. Student are welcome to follow the program as part of their leadership training.
