Children’s audiences represent one of today’s greatest challenges—and at the same time, one of the most exciting opportunities—within the current audiovisual landscape. This first gathering, organised as a complementary initiative to VIVABOOK Lab, aims to highlight their strategic role within the Spanish industry and to open a space for reflection, training, and dialogue among professionals, institutions, and students.
With a participatory and approachable format, the event seeks to lay the foundations for promoting high-quality content for children and to break down the barriers that still exist when writing and producing for this audience.
