EDUCATION AND SCIENCE TV CONTENTS SHARING PROJECT IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC
UNESCO Bangkok has recently established a partnership with the Korean television broadcasting company YTN Science TV Channel and the Korean Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) for the Education and Science TV Contents Sharing Project in Asia and the Pacific. The project intends to make available science and education TV programs to public and non-profit education TV channels in countries in Asia-Pacific countries.
Under this cooperation, YTN Science will translate a selection of its science TV programs into English by adding English sub-titles. UNESCO Bangkok, in charge of project coordination, is establishing a network of public and non-profit TV channels interested in broadcasting these materials. It is also hoped that this initiative will pave the way for public and non-profit Education and Science TV channels to share their broadcast materials and thus strengthen the cooperation among broadcasters in the region.
To date, the following TV channels have already signified interest in participating in the project:
Fiji Television Limited
Oceania Television Network (Palau)
Samoa Quality Broadcasting Company Ltd
Television channels (public, non-profit, and Education TV) in Asia and the Pacific are welcome to participate in the project. For further details, email us at ict.bgk@unesco.org.
